Some Locators
by kveex
Some Locators extends the lodestone compass so a single item can store several points, and adds a Punch Card and Locator Terminal for copying and sharing them.
What it does
Some Locators takes the idea of the lodestone compass and extends it a little. The lodestone compass stores one position, while a compass from this mod can hold multiple saved points, and the Punch Card and Locator Terminal are used to write, copy and rewrite that stored data. Information can be shared between players, and empty locators work with compasses too.
The mod adds four new items and a single new block. The Locator Terminal is the only one with a crafting recipe in the mod; the terminal screen lets a player inspect and rewrite the data on a locator, and the Player Locator is a separate type that tracks players for a limited time without showing their exact direction. Once a player is found, the tracker stops counting down. A compass can have only its data copied and rewritten, and the locator may show an error texture, which is normal behavior.
Some Locators requires Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and adds a configuration screen. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.11 only, and is open source under the MIT License.
