About this project

What does Head Locator add?

Head Locator

Know who's who on the locator bar. Head Locator swaps the plain colored dots for the real heads of the players they track.

How it works

In game

Features

Border mode

Compatibility

Setup

  • Fabric / Quilt - settings via Mod Menu (optional)
  • NeoForge / Forge - settings via Mods → HeadTracker → Config
  • Optional: Xaero's Minimap waypoints in border mode
  • Optional: border mode points to where your pets were last seen, remembered per world and per server
  • Client-side only - join any server

Limitations

  • Only the player dot changes; self arrow and death markers stay vanilla.
  • Players must be in your tab list to get a head.
  • Pet tracking is client-side: it remembers the last spot you saw each pet, not where it is now.
