Xaero Head Tracker
by souhou
Xaero Head Tracker shows other players' avatars on Xaero's World Map at any distance, so their positions stay visible on a server regardless of how far away they are.
What it does
Once installed, the tracker draws each player's head on the world map, and a location can be followed live across the whole server. Players who share their position are marked Live, and when a player turns sharing off, the map keeps the last known location and shows how long ago it was last updated.
Each player can choose whether heads and names are displayed and whether their own location is shared with others. Server owners install the mod on the server, while players who want to see the positions add it on their client. The project publishes its source code and an issue tracker, and players can submit ideas for new features there. Fabric and NeoForge builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source.
