Where Are We Now?
by nanorover59
Where Are We Now? changes the map item so it shows player icons in their team color, similar to the legacy console edition.
What it does
Map items in the mod display player icons in the color of each player's team, replacing the framed icons used in vanilla. Players on the same team appear in matching colors on the same map, which makes it simpler to see where teammates are. Installing it requires Fabric only, and it is published for 1.20 – 1.21.8 across six release versions.

Player icons on a map take the color of their team, so teammates can be told apart at a glance.
