Relay
by Spog
Relay lets a group of trusted players share locations, pings, alerts and private chat from inside a Minecraft world, with an optional HUD and map markers.
What it does
Relay is a team communications mod for Fabric. Players in a trust list can create pings at locations, see live markers for allies in the world, send alerts that prompt a teammate to come help, and chat privately. A HUD viewer shows information from allies on a configurable overlay, and game coordinates, health and armor durability can be shared with the group. Xaero's map compatibility lets waypoints be exported and player icons shown on the world map.
Data is only sent for the categories a player chooses to share, and the config lets each user opt out of specific data types. Connecting to the optional Relay Server forwards encrypted data between selected users, and players who connect are authenticated with Mojang. Relay is client-side only, so servers run without it, and players join the server as usual. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the code is available as a public source repository under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which is not an open source license.
