FellowFinder Light
by L0stray
FellowFinder Light shows where teammates are when they fall outside visual range, through a compass bar on the top of the screen.
What it does
The mod tracks other players and displays each one as a marker on a compass bar at the top of the screen. The marker shows the direction, the height relative to the player, the name and the distance, so a teammate stays locatable even when out of sight. Players can hide the bar with F1, which also hides the vanilla HUD.
Positions are shared through a broadcast. A host or server sends player locations about every two seconds, and a three-tier broadcast setting limits who receives them: all players, friends only, or nobody. Players are given fixed colors derived from their UUID, so each teammate keeps the same color across sessions. Sneaking, spectating and wearing a head covering hide a player automatically.
Installation works on the client and the server alike, and it is optional on either side. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 and 26.1.2, with 1.1 for 26.1.2 as the latest build for both loaders. FellowFinder Light is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who explore with a group and server owners who want teammates to find each other on a shared world. Players who do not run the mod still use the ffl commands but do not see the compass bar.
How it compares
Teammates is a Fabric-only, client-side mod under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, published for 1.21 – 1.21.8. Compass Locator is server required with the client optional, under All rights reserved, for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 1.21.7 – 1.21.8. FellowFinder Light differs from both by running on either side and by covering 1.21 and 26.1.2 on Fabric and NeoForge.

What the author says
An ultra-lightweight mod for sensing teammates beyond your visual range. Even when friends are out of sight, you can still feel each other's direction. No maps, no waypoints — just a clean compass bar that tells you where your friends are, how far away they are, and whether they're above or below you.
