Locator Head Mobs adds a radar-style HUD that displays the heads of nearby hostile mobs and players directly on your XP bar. Know exactly where threats are coming from without breaking your immersion.
🎯 How it works
Every nearby hostile mob and player appears as a head icon on your XP bar. The position of each icon reflects the entity's direction relative to where you are looking — glance at the bar and instantly know what's around you.
- Icon on the left → threat is to your left

- Icon in the center → threat is directly in front or behind you
- Arrow above the icon → entity is above you
- Arrow below the icon → entity is below you
