Soul Sight
Soul Sight lets players find other players by holding a soul torch, which shows particles pointing toward nearby players within a set distance.
What it does
Players holding a soul torch in the main or offhand see particles that point in the direction of other players who also hold one. The distance a torch can detect is limited, so the effect works as a short-range way to locate friends in a world. The data pack is the only server platform it is listed for, and it runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. Soul Sight covers 1.20 – 1.21.5 and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source.
Key features
Soul torch tracking
Holding a soul torch shows particles that point toward other players who carry one nearby.
Main and offhand use
The torch works from either hand, so players can keep a weapon or tool in the other.
Limited detection distance
Detection stops beyond a set distance from the torch, keeping the effect local rather than global.

What the author says
While a player holds a soul torch (in main or offhand), particles will point them in the direction of any other player also holding a soul torch, at any distance. Part of the ✨Comfy Improvements series. Inclusion in modpacks is encouraged.
