CompassTracker – Player Tracking Compass “Turn any compass into a live player tracker – just rename it!” Ever wanted a simple, vanilla-friendly way to hunt down your friends (or enemies) on a SMP or minigame server? CompassTracker does exactly that:
Take a normal compass Rename it on an anvil to any online player’s exact username Hold it and it will constantly point to that player in real time
No commands, no permissions, no extra items required. Works in main hand or off hand. If the target player logs off, the compass simply falls back to normal behavior (points to world spawn or last bed) until they come back online. Perfect for:
Manhunt / speedrunner vs hunter servers SMP betrayal moments Hide & seek or prop hunt Any server that wants lightweight player tracking without giving away coordinates
Features
Zero configuration – drop and go Updates every 0.25 seconds (super smooth) Works across the entire inventory (main/off hand checked, easily expandable) Lightweight – only runs when players are online Built for Paper 1.16–1.21+ (uses Lodestone API properly)
Download now and start the hunt! 🧭➜👤
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
