Tracker Compass

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 latest release - Locate your world's datapack folder (`.minecraft/saves/[your_world_name]/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) ```
