This datapack allows an infinite number of players to track up to 50 other players or entities using a specialized tracking compass. The pack does so by designating either tracked or tracker roles to players and entities.

 

All players with the tracker role receive a tracking compass that points to the nearest entity with the tracked role. The compass cannot be thrown out, and cannot be moved in creative mode. If there are no tracked entities, the tracking compass will be removed, and will be re-given when new entities are tracked. Unloaded non-player entities and offline players are not recognized by the compass.

 

To set up, simply install the datapack and then follow the setup guide.

     1. Select Data Packs in the world creation menu (in 1.19.4+, select the More tab at the top of the screen first)

     3. Click the arrow on the pack icon to load the pack, and then select Done

     4. Load and play your world, and follow the setup guide that pops up
