Remember the original GPS/Stalker mod from Minecraft 1.2.5 to 1.4.7?
This is exactly this mod updated to current Minecraft Versions.
What this does:
This mod adds a new Item called the GPS.
When you have a GPS in your inventory and it's turned on, you can see, how far away you are from other people, that also have a GPS on them on at least idle mode.
Then there's also supercharged mode, which allows you to see the distance between you and other people, if they don't have a GPS on them, but remember, supercharged mode is quite pricy.
can you add more longer delays in updating data on gps? for example gps updating every 10 minutes

I want to be able to track/ hunt mobs
Can you or make this work with say one mob like a tracker I want to be able to track my mobs so if I throw a tracker at a mob it sticks to it and and I can hunt it down no matter where it is in the dimension.

Add a gps arrow, the player that gets hited is tracked by the linked gps and an arrow with a gps is rendered like normal arrows when you get shot, this arrow lasts forever and can be removed takeing fire damage to dont make the mod too complex.
Other ideas: Add emp, machines that deny gps tracking in an area.
Suggestion if your taking them, make this work for mobs as well or a version of the item just for mobs (Different settings for monster/animals) Great gizmo for Server Worlds either way!
I don't know, how that would work with mobs. Displaying all the mobs would be way too much, than there is space on the screen to display. Adding GPS trackers to mobs wouldn't work either, since then I'd need to chunkload the chunk, the mob is in and imo, that's not worth it.
I doubt this is something you would consider but JMap Has a API now and always wanted some sort of option to be able to see players via the map. In a fun mechanic or just a passive config option where it just shows them (friend servers). Not sure if this is something you be into ever but I thought I bring it up :)
The idea behind the GPS mod is, that you don't get the positions of people, but the distance to them, so if you want to calculate the position of someone, you'd have to use trilateration, which is a hard, but fun way to do this.
If i however fnd the time to look at this, I may do it anyways.
haha love it Aroma!
Will this function in SMP if the server doesn't have it? If so, is there any way I can configure it on the server to disallow the functions?
This will not work, if you don't have the mod on the server.
