About this project
What does XaeroHeadTracker add?
Xaero Head Tracker shows other players on Xaero's World Map, at any distance.
Installation
- Requires Xaero's World Map.
- Install the mod on the server, and on the clients that want to see player positions. It is optional for the other players.
- A 2.3 server works with 2.2 clients and the other way around. Each player needs 2.3 to see players who left before they joined and to get the Xaero's Minimap fix.
On your map
- Heads and/or names, configurable.
- Players currently sharing their location are marked as Live.
- When a sharing player disconnects, their last known location stays on the map and shows how long ago it was updated.
- Players who left before you joined also appear: the server keeps their last position, dimension and skin for 7 days.
- Heads follow the dimension shown on the map, including with Xaero's dimension button.
- Compatible with Xaero's Minimap: a nearby player drawn by its radar is not displayed twice.
Choose who you see
All players are hidden by default. Open the mod settings and tick the players you want to display.
- Search players by name, with checked players on top.
- "Show other players" displays everyone who is not checked.
- Choices are saved per server, by player UUID, so a name change does not break anything.
- Checked players stay in the list when offline, so you can add a friend in advance.
Choose who sees you
Your position is only sent if you choose to share it.
- Share with everyone, or only with the players you select.
- When you stop sharing, your head disappears at once for other players.
- After you leave, your last position stays visible to the players you chose for 7 days, or until you come back.
For server admins
- Turn sharing off for everyone with the game rule
xaeroheadtracker:allow_sharing. This removes all heads and erases stored positions. - Last positions are saved with the world.
