# Sharing in chat

Share a waypoint as a line anyone can read, and click coordinates in chat however they are typed, also Xaero's and JourneyMap's.

## Share a waypoint

Right-click a waypoint, or a spot on the world map, and pick **Share in chat**. Chat gets a line anyone can read, with or without Charted:

Charted's share: name, X Y Z, then the dimension (left out in the Overworld) and the color

```text
Base: 100 64 -20 (nether, #d24c4c)
```

A friend with Charted sees it underlined. A click saves it with its name, dimension and color: **Save it**, **Save and edit**, or go there.

## For friends with other map mods

[**Share waypoints as**](https://voxelsprout.com/charted/wiki/settings#setting-share-waypoints-as) under Waypoints in the settings writes your shares in the form Xaero's Minimap or JourneyMap turn into a button, so a friend using them can save yours. Charted reads all three, whichever you pick.

| Share waypoints as | The line                                                                  |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Charted**        | Base: 100 64 -20 (nether, #d24c4c)                                        |
| **Xaero's**        | xaero-waypoint:Base:B:100:64:-20:20:false:0:Internal-the-nether-waypoints |
| **JourneyMap**     | \[name:"Base", x:100, y:64, z:-20, dim:minecraft:the\_nether\]            |

## Coordinates however they are typed

With [**Coordinates in chat**](https://voxelsprout.com/charted/wiki/settings#setting-coordinates-in-chat) on, Charted underlines coordinates in chat and a click offers **Save as a waypoint**, **Go there (gone once you arrive)** and **Show on the world map**. The tooltip says how Charted read them.

| Typed as                                     | Read as                                                  |
| -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| 100 64 -20, 100, 64, -20, 100/64/-20         | X, Y and Z                                               |
| X: 100, Y: 64, Z: -20, x100 y64 z-20         | X, Y and Z                                               |
| x 100 z -20, Z: -20, X: 100, x 300 and z 500 | X and Z, in any order                                    |
| xyz 100 64 -20, XYZ: 100/64/-20              | X, Y and Z                                               |
| xz 100 -20                                   | X and Z                                                  |
| x 100 y -20                                  | X and Z: no Z, so it is read the way most people mean it |

Bare numbers are read with care, since chat is full of them: three in a row only, the middle one a height a world can have, and not all three small, so a score of "3 2 1" is not a place.

## Try a line

Type or paste a chat line. This box reads it the way the game does and shows what would be underlined.

An interactive box on voxelsprout.com/charted/wiki/sharing-in-chat that reads a chat line the way Charted does and shows the coordinates it would underline.

## A server's clickable text

Text a server already made clickable, a link that teleports you or opens a menu, keeps its own action. Charted leaves it as it is.

* **Coordinates in chat default On:** Coordinates in chat are underlined: click one to save it, go there or see it on the world map.
* **Share waypoints as default Charted:** How "Share in chat" writes a waypoint: Charted, Xaero's or JourneyMap.
