Reading coordinates in log files

[Tricheihatre]

I had to take an important call and failed to pause my game. I died as a result however i play on wilderness survival without a map. I went to find the coordinates in the logs but when i put them in a tp command it doesn't seem to put me anywhere near my base. what am i doing wrong ?

The coordinates in log files are absolute coordinates, whereas the ones you normally see and use are relative to world center. To use the absolute coordinates in /tp or some other commands, you need to put an "=" sign in front of each coordinate that you want to interpret as an absolute coordinate, e.g.:

/tp =512123 120 =512456

As a side note, it may also be an option to just subtract half the world size from X and Z, but that then requires you to check the world size and do a tiny bit of math, so using the "=" sign is more straightforward. And also, I'm not certain whether the (0, 0) point is always actually half the size or can be slightly offset, and I'm not aware of an option to check it aside from experimentally by subtracting the result of two /tp commands.

update: 

turns out the bear can get out of a 2 blocks deep pit.

answering a call is a valid reason to cheat, carelessness is not.

I have now lost the home i so cherished ;-;
