Custom Locator Color

by Trivait

Custom Locator Color lets each player assign a chosen color to the dot that marks their username on the locator bar.

What it does

Players set a custom color for their locator bar entry by matching it to a player name. Once the color is chosen, that player's dot on the locator bar uses it, so friends stand out at a glance. The mod runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed, and it requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. Files are published for Fabric, for 10 release versions spanning 1.21.6 – 26.2.

Key features

  1. Named color assignment

    A color can be set for any player name, so a chosen friend keeps the same dot color across the game.

  2. Locator bar dot colors

    Each player's dot on the locator bar is drawn in the color assigned to that name.

  3. Quick setup for friends

    Players pick a color from a player name entry, so a group can set the colors they want without editing any file.
