TheTrackers

by MakerTechno

TheTrackers is a Forge and NeoForge library that draws cursors on the HUD to show where tracked entities sit relative to the player's view.

ForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Each tracked entity can be marked with a cursor placed on the screen edge or in a central surround area, so flying mobs such as the Ender Dragon and Wither can be located while they move through walls or across the view. The default setup includes tracking cursors for these bosses, and the mod exposes a tracking list where each entry pairs an entity type with a cursor style.

Tracking can be toggled, cursor size adjusted relative to the global size, and the number of tracked entities capped at 10 so the display stays readable. Only the nearest entities within that count are shown. The projection used in central surround mode can be chosen, with Aitoff recommended for typical use.

The mod is built to work together with Confluence, and the author describes it as a submodule within the Otherworld project. Files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 builds both at version 0.2.6. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with the source, issue tracker and wiki public.

Key features

  1. Tracking toggle

    Tracking of entities can be switched on and off without removing the mod from the game.

  2. Cursor size control

    Cursor size is adjusted relative to the global cursor size, changing every marker at once.

  3. Maximum tracked count

    The number of tracked entities is capped at 10, and only the nearest entities inside that cap are displayed.

  4. Central surround cursors

    Surround mode uses one of the most common cursor types, and the projection used in it can be selected from the options.

  5. Tracking list

    A list in the configuration pairs each entity type with a cursor style, so specific mobs use the cursor the player chooses.

What the author says

This mod provides multiple types of entity-tracking cursors (two available, one planned), assisting players in locating targets. It also serves as a specialized HUD library. When you're facing mobs flying chaotically across the screen or clipping through walls, you'll need this. (Vex: huh?)
