[1.8] How to get Player Postition? [SOLVED]

[JoelGodOfWar]

I'm pretty new to modding, due to a need on the server i play on, i want to make a mod. So i am trying to learn. I have eclipse, and forge setup. I just can't seem to find the right dependency to get the information i want. I want to get the XYZ of the player, and display it in the bottom right of the screen. Later i will want to detect when the player makes a nether portal, and then display the coords of where the other portal should go, based on where they are when they make the first portal. code is helpful, but just pointing me to the right dependency will be good.

player.posX/Y/Z

?

The code i'm looking at, from Zyin, shows this,

 public static int GetXCoordinate()
    {
    	return (int) Math.floor(mc.thePlayer.posX);
    }

But when i try to use that i get errors. With imports of

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos;

The error says "mc cannot be resolved to a variable".

You do know Java, right? From the code you got from somebody (bad person, don't give code without explanation), you clearly don't know Java. If you do know it, you can solve the error yourself.

Well i'm not as familur with Java as i am with vb, html, or javascript.

I think i've solved this part. Here's the code i have now, that has no errors.

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
    protected static Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
    public static int GetXCoordinate()
    {
    	return (int) Math.floor(mc.thePlayer.posX);
    }
    public static int GetYCoordinate()
    {
    	return (int) Math.floor(mc.thePlayer.posY);
    }
    public static int GetZCoordinate()
    {
    	return (int) Math.floor(mc.thePlayer.posZ);
    }

 

Now to figure out how to show that on the game screen.

Thank you for your replies.

You can draw to ingame GUI using the RenderGameOverlayEvent.
