Player Location Share

by _Umut

Player Link lets two friends share live locations with each other on a Fabric client, after one sends a link request and the other accepts it in chat.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.11

What it does

Once a link is accepted, each player sees the other's head and a small on-screen tracker showing the name and distance, with an arrow pointing the way. The coordinates can also be pinged back and forth in chat. The link is saved, so it survives relogging and restarting. It is set up once per pair of players.

The mod is completely client-side, so nothing has to be installed on the server and no plugin permissions are needed. Positions travel inside ordinary private messages, and the mod hides those messages from the chat window. Player Link requires Xaero's Minimap, and Xaero's World Map is optional for displaying the friend on the world map. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Live friend positions

    Linked friends appear with their head marker and distance, so each player can see where the other one is at any time.

  2. Accept-based linking

    A link request arrives as a clickable chat message, and it takes effect only after the other player accepts.

  3. Encrypted coordinates

    The two clients agree on a secret key with X25519, and each position is sealed with AES-256 before it crosses the chat.

  4. Persistent links

    Saved links remain in place across relogging and restarting the game, so the pair does not need to reconnect.

Use cases

Meeting up on a large server

Who it’s for: Players who regularly play with the same friend on a server and want a live locator without asking the server owner to install anything.

Does the server need Player Link installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

What the author says

Player Link lets you and a friend share your live locations with each other, as long as you both have the mod. You send a link request, they accept, and from then on you can each see exactly where the other one is. No more pinging coords back and forth in chat. It's completely client-side. There's nothing to install…
