Enemy Tracker
by Gardon
Enemy Tracker, a NeoForge Technology mod for 1.21.8, lets players spot nearby hostile mobs with a handheld-style tracking device.
What it does
Players pick the Enemy Tracker item and right-click to switch its remote control on or off. While it is active, the device shows hostile mobs that are close by, which helps when moving through dark caves or open ground at night. Sneaking and right-clicking cycles the tracker through its pilot modes.
The tracker offers three modes. Normal detects mobs within 5% of its range, Radial detects mobs within 50% of its range, and Professional detects mobs within 100% of its range. The mod is built to make tracking hostile creatures less demanding for players who want modern equipment for that job.
The mod is published only for NeoForge, and the latest file, version 0.11, targets 1.21.8 and was released on 2025-12-24. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is not open source and is distributed under All rights reserved.
Key features
Timed threat detection
The device detects hostile mobs over time, so players see threats appear as they approach rather than only at a single moment.
Three detection modes
Normal, Radial and Professional modes cover 5%, 50% and 100% of the detection range, letting players choose how far the tracker looks.
Remote control toggle
A right-click turns the tracker's remote control on or off, and sneaking with a right-click changes the pilot mode.
Modern tracking equipment
The item gives players a dedicated tool for spotting enemies, in place of searching the area by hand.

Use cases
Exploring at night
Players moving through dark terrain can use the tracker to see which hostile mobs are close before they get near.
Mining and caves
Underground trips, where mobs can appear from unlit passages, are a case where the tracker's detection range matters.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want an assisted way to locate hostile mobs on a NeoForge 1.21.8 world. Because it runs on both client and server, a multiplayer server must install it for every player who uses the tracker.
