Zzoyn Markers
by zzoyn33
Zzoyn Markers is a Forge utility for placing 3D world markers that teammates see as floating distance labels in their view.
What it does
A player places a marker with a keypress, and the marker is drawn directly in the world at the exact targeted location. Teammates see the marker through blocks, in the same way tactical pings work in shooters, and each label shows the distance to the marker automatically. Markers can be shared with a team, which suits squad-based play and perfect PvP teamwork on a server.
Marker distance scales with the render distance setting, and markers fade in and out with a smooth animation rather than appearing abruptly. Each marker takes a randomized color to make it easier to tell apart from others. The system is described as lightweight and clean, with the aim of keeping performance cost low.
Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2025-12-03. Either side can run the mod, and neither needs it. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
3D world markers
Markers are placed at the exact targeted spot and drawn in the world rather than on a separate map or overlay.
Visible through blocks
Marker labels stay readable behind walls and terrain, similar to tactical pings in shooters.
Automatic distance labels
Each marker shows its distance from the viewer, and the label scales with render distance.
Team marker sharing
Markers placed by one player can be shared with teammates so the whole group sees the same point.
Fade and color
Markers fade in and out smoothly and use randomized colors to make several markers simple to distinguish.

What the author says
Zzoyn Markers adds a minimal and precise 3D marker system, rendered directly in the world — not on the HUD. Place a marker with a keypress, and your teammates instantly see a floating distance label exactly where you pointed. Smooth, readable and tactical — perfect for PvP and squad-based gameplay.
