Locolourtor
by geek
Locolourtor lets players set a custom colour for the locator bar, the marker Minecraft draws for other players on the HUD.
What it does
A player picks a colour in hex, as RGB values from 0 to 255, or as CMYK percentages from 0 to 100, and the locator bar shows that colour for their marker. Installs on the client alone are enough for the colour to appear on that player's screen.
When other players also run Locolourtor, the chosen colour is pushed to them in near real time over a simple websocket connection, so the custom marker shows up for everyone who has the mod. Players on LAN or on Essential and Realms servers can use it without any server-side part, and colour data is limited to the player's UUID and colour, with authentication done through profile keys. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and is published for both Fabric and NeoForge across 6 release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Custom locator colours
Colours can be entered as hex, RGB from 0 to 255, or CMYK from 0 to 100 percent.
Realtime colour sync
Colour changes reach other players with the mod in near real time over a websocket connection.
Profile key authentication
Sync requests are checked with profile keys, and only the UUID and colour are stored.
Client-side operation
The colour and HUD are handled on the client, so no server install is needed to use it alone.

Use cases
Marking teammates
Players on shared worlds or servers can give their markers distinct colours so each teammate stands out on the locator bar.
Solo visibility
A single player can change the locator colour to suit their HUD or colour preferences without other players installing anything.
Who it’s for: Players who want a distinct locator bar colour in multiplayer, and players on LAN or Essential and Realms servers who want shared colours without asking the server owner to install a mod.
