About this Mod

This is a simple datapack/mod that tracks a player with a tracking compass like in manhunt/hitmen.
just choose a player to track and that's it.
this type of compass is especially useful in manhunts, but it's also used in other occasions.

Datapack functionalities:

  • Cross-dimensional tracking: YES
  • Offline player tracking: NO
  • Track multiple runners: NO
  • Track custom dimensions: NO
  • Works up to INFINITE players (No limit)

Commands:

  • /trigger rtc.get_compass --> get a compass as a tracker(hunter)
  • /trigger rtc.menu --> show compass tracker menu

Errors you might encounter:

  • No valid position found in this dimension --> indicates that the player being tracked has not yet been in this dimension. This error also shows up when cross-dimensional tracking is off and the tracked player is in another dimension.
  • The player is not available --> indicates that the player being tracked is not online.
