About this project

What does Player Finder add?

🧭 Player Finder

Player Finder is a lightweight client-side Fabric utility mod that helps you quickly locate nearby players in multiplayer Minecraft.

It tracks the nearest visible player and displays their name, distance, direction, and nearby player count through a customizable HUD. Everything can be configured directly in-game, with no server-side installation required.

🎯 Features

  • Nearest Player Tracking → Automatically detects the closest nearby player.
  • Distance Display → Shows the exact distance to the tracked player in blocks.
  • Direction Indicator → Shows which direction the tracked player is located.
  • Nearby Player Count → Displays how many additional players are nearby.
  • Customizable HUD → Adjust the appearance and placement of the Player Finder HUD.
  • HUD Position Editor → Drag the HUD anywhere on your screen and save its position.
  • Color Settings → Customize the HUD color directly through the in-game settings.
  • Keybind Support → Open the Player Finder menu using a configurable Minecraft keybind.
  • Persistent Configuration → Your settings and HUD position are saved between launches.

⚡ Built for Multiplayer

Player Finder is designed for multiplayer environments such as:

  • ⚔️ PvP
  • 🌎 SMPs
  • 🤝 Team gameplay
  • 🏕️ Survival
  • 🎮 Multiplayer servers

It runs entirely on the client, so the server does not need to install Player Finder.

🖥️ Client-Side & Lightweight

Player Finder is designed to provide real-time tracking while remaining lightweight.

  • 🖥️ Client-side only
  • ⚡ Lightweight performance
  • 🔄 Real-time tracking
  • 🎯 Efficient player detection
  • 🚫 No server-side installation required

Player detection is limited to players/entities currently rendered by the client and does not scan the entire Minecraft world.

👀 Fair Player Detection

Player Finder respects player visibility conditions to keep tracking more reasonable for multiplayer gameplay.

Players who are crouching or invisible are not tracked according to the mod's current detection rules.

🎨 Customization

Player Finder includes an in-game configuration system so you can customize the experience without editing configuration files.

HUD Position

Move the Player Finder HUD anywhere on your screen using the dedicated position editor and save your preferred location.

HUD Colors

Customize the HUD color using the built-in color settings.

Keybind

Open the Player Finder settings directly through a configurable Minecraft keybind.
