- Pan and zoom: every ore vein shows as a marker. Switch on more structures beside the map if you like.
- Click a marker for its coordinates, and copy the /tp command to go straight there.

Questions
Where do ore veins generate?
Copper veins run with granite between Y 0 and 50. Iron veins run with tuff deeper down, between Y -60 and -8. Both can hold blocks of raw ore.
Why do I have to zoom in?
Working out a vein takes Minecraft's own underground noise, so the map does it only for the part you are looking at.
How do I find my world's seed?
On Java Edition, type /seed in chat (it needs cheats on, or operator rights on a server). On Bedrock, open the world's settings: the seed is listed under Game.
