Features
🧭 Locator Bar
The mod adds a locator bar that helps you read a direction at a glance.
You can also show coordinates and in-game day counter under the bar.
World direction markers (N, S, E, W) can be shown directly on the bar.
There are multiple bar styles:
- Reworked style (custom top HUD style)
- Classic style (vanilla-like style near the XP bar).
😀 Players
Other players are shown as head markers on the locator bar, so you can quickly see where they are.
A player marker is hidden when:
- the player is crouching
- the player wears a carved pumpkin
- the player wears a mob head
📍 Waypoints
The waypoint system is based on paired lodestone compasses in your inventory.
These compasses create waypoint markers on the locator bar and point you toward their target location.
This gives you a simple navigation system without opening maps or extra screens.
