📋 About This Mod

# Tracker Compass A Minecraft datapack that adds a compass which tracks the nearest player. Primarily intended for Minecraft Manhunts. ## Features - Track multiple players - the compass will point to the nearest target. - Remembers the last position tracked, even if the runner enters a different dimension. Also works if the hunter dies (but the compass will not remember the dimension it was last used in before the hunter's death). - Hunters are not able to lose or drop their compass. - Runners are not able to pick up or use tracker compasses. ## Installation Datapack version: - Download (https://modrinth.com/datapack/tracker-compass/versions) - Locate your world's datapack folder (`.minecraft/saves//datapacks`) - Place the datapack into the datapack folder - Make sure the datapack is enabled by using `/datapack list`. If it isn't, enable it with `/datapack enable "file/tracker-compass_(version_number).zip"` Mod version: - Download latest version from Modrinth - Place mod into mods folder (`.minecraft/mods`) ## How to Use To set the hunters, use: ``` /team join Hunters player_name ``` To set the speedrunners, use: ``` /team join Runners player_name ``` To start the game and give the hunters their compasses, use: ``` /function tracker:start ``` This will also clear everybody's inventories, set each team to survival mode and max out their health and food levels. Hunters can refresh their compass by right-clicking them. ## Settings This datapack automatically disables the locator bar upon loading to prevent runners from knowing the hunters' whereabouts, but this can be toggled with the `locator_bar` gamerule: ``` /gamerule locator_bar (true|false) ``` The tracker can be set to show the tracked player's y-coordinate (off by default): ``` /scoreboard players set y_mode TrackerSettings (0|1) (0 for off, 1 for on) ``` Hunters respawn with compasses by default, but this can be disabled: ``` /scoreboard players set respawn TrackerSettings (0|1) (0 for off, 1 for on) ``` ## Commands | Command | Description | |----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `/team join Hunters player_name` | Adds the user `player_name` to the Hunters team. | | `/team join Runners player_name` | Adds the user `player_name` to the Runners team (will be tracked by compasses). | | `/function tracker:start` | Clears inventories, heals all and gives all hunters tracker compasses. | | `/function tracker:get_compass` | Gives the executor a tracker compass. | | `/function tracker:setup/install` | Initialises the datapack.
