Mayhem Compass Tracker
by Zurned
Mayhem Compass Tracker gives each player a compass that points at other players, letting hunters in Minecraft Mayhem-style games switch targets during a round.
What it does
Unlike a standard compass, which only points at world spawn or a lodestone, this compass updates automatically to show the location of a selected player in real time. Players receive the compass through the compasstracker plugin, and the server-side logic keeps the direction current as the target moves. The tool is aimed at competitive hunter-versus-runner modes, where chasing a specific player matters.
Targets are kept in an internal list, often defined by a role such as Runner or Active. Holding the compass and cycling through that list lets a player pick the next target without commands or menus, and the list loops so that the last player returns to the first. If a tracked player goes offline, the compass skips to the next available player. Tracking respects dimension changes across the Overworld, Nether and End, and can optionally remember a player's last known location after they pass through a portal.
Compass Tracker is built for Minecraft Mayhem-style games with several runners, where hunters need to coordinate and move between targets quickly. Optional feedback such as a click or bell sound confirms each switch. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 20 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.9, and Paper and Spigot are listed as server platforms. It is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
