PlayerCompassMOD

by kiyokiyo_jp

PlayerCompassMOD shows nearby players on a customizable on-screen display, so a player can see who is around without opening a map.

What it does

The display lists players inside a tracking range the player sets, and the number of players shown has a configurable maximum. Its position and size can be moved and scaled, and a background can be switched on or off, with its transparency adjusted. A team mode is included for groups that play together.

Control runs through a short set of commands: one opens the settings overview, and others toggle the mod, set the range and maximum, move the display, change its scale, and adjust the background. The mod is designed for general gameplay and is client-side only, so a server does not need it to show the display to a player. Files exist for Forge 1.8.9 only, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
