Better Locator Bar

by Coffeeiscool

Better Locator Bar brings the locator bar from modern Minecraft to Better Than Adventure, showing nearby friends above the hotbar.

What it does

A colored dot on a bar above the hotbar marks each friend's position, and moving the camera shifts the dot to match the direction of that friend. Dots of farther friends shrink, and a Y-level difference indicator shows whether a friend stands above or below the player. The bar keeps tracking a player who has left one's own render distance.

Key features

  1. Direction dots

    Each friend appears as a colored dot whose horizontal position follows the camera direction toward that player.

  2. Distance scaling

    The dot of a friend further away gets smaller, so proximity is readable at a glance.

  3. Height indicator

    A Y-level difference indicator shows how far a tracked player sits above or below the viewer.

What the author says

This mod adds an xp-like bar just above your hotbar that lets you see where your friends are indicated by a colored dot! As you move your camera, the dot changes in the x direction to indicate where your friend is! And as you move further away from your friend, their dot gets smaller!
