Locations

Found the perfect spot to build, made a mental or physical note of the coordinates, and still somehow lost them when you need them again?

Have you ever stumbled onto something incredible and wished you could share the coordinates with your friends, even if they are offline?

Did you just die in the middle of nowhere and cannot find your way back to your stuff?

Are you collecting and taming all wolf variants? Now you can track that last one you can't find!

Locations is a versatile and highly customizable mod that lets you save named locations in-game — private ones only you can see, and public ones the whole server can access. When you want to head back, they can guide you with a waypoint using the Locator Bar. It lets you search and track a specific mob or mob variant.

There are several ways of using this mod:

Singleplayer

• Some restrictions apply; like sharing, and public locations.

Multiplayer (installed only on client)

• Some restrictions apply; like sharing, public locations, and Locator Bar waypoints (but guiding/tracking still works).
• Your locations are stored in profiles locally. You can have multiple and switch when you switch servers.

Multiplayer (installed only on server)

• Works for all connected players.
• Have admin config to allow/disallow certain features.

Multiplayer (both on client and server)

• Supports migrating local profiles to server.
