About this Mod
This mod adds a /playerlocate command that allows you to locate players present in the world by retrieving their coordinates in real time.
Usage:
/playerlocate Displays the list of all nearby players, sorted from closest to farthest, with their exact coordinates (X, Y, Z) and their distance in meters.
/playerlocate <player> Displays the coordinates of a specific player. Tab autocompletion is available.
/playerlocate --npc Same as the base command, but also includes NPCs present on the server (excluded by default).
Distance indicator:
🔴 Red — less than 50 meters
🟡 Yellow — between 50 and 150 meters
🟢 Green — more than 150 meters
This mod is client-side only, no server-side installation is required. It is compatible with all server types (Vanilla, Spigot, Paper, etc.) as long as Fabric and Fabric API are installed on the client.
