Better Party X Xaero's World Map
by MrStilu2k6
Better Party X Xaero's World Map shows party members on the fullscreen Xaero's World Map, with a player-chosen head or dot marker for each member.
What it does
Players create and manage parties through Better Party, and this add-on connects that party system with the fullscreen map of Xaero's World Map. Members appear on the map only inside the same Better Party group, and map positions are shared only with them. Better Party stays the authoritative source for membership and administration.
A party admin decides whether party members are displayed on the map at all, and that party-admin setting always takes priority over personal client settings. When the admin disables map visibility for the whole party, sharing of party positions stops. Each player independently chooses a marker style, such as a head, a colored dot or Off, which changes only that player's own client. Choosing Off hides party members on the player's own map without affecting anyone else.
Better Party members can be shown on the fullscreen map of Xaero's World Map without relying on the Better Party locator option, since the add-on handles only that one task. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it requires Better Party and Xaero's World Map. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, 1.20.1 – 26.3, with 1.0.2 as the latest file.
