Player tracking compass
by reGAMEza
Player tracking compass is a compass mod that points at chosen players, built for manhunts and hide-and-seek games across dimensions.
What it does
Holding the tracking compass lets a player pick another player and see a needle that points toward that player's position. The compass works across dimensions, so a runner in the Nether or the End can still be found from the Overworld. Players who are offline can be tracked too, and the compass shows whether the chosen player is currently online.
Several runners can be tracked at once, and the compass has no fixed cap on the number of players it supports. Custom dimensions added by other mods are also covered. The mod is useful for manhunts and hitmen games, though the compass fits other occasions where a player needs to locate a teammate.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack for servers. The server must run it, while players may leave it out of their clients. Files cover 1.21.5 – 26.3, with 1.10.1 for 26.3 as the latest release, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
