# MateTracker Mod – Overview
The MateTracker mod allows players in a Minecraft world or server to track the real-time position of their teammates. To prevent abuse (such as griefing or ganking), tracking is entirely based on mutual consent.
Key Features
## Consent-Based Tracking (Permission System)
- No player can be tracked without their explicit approval.
- Requests can be accepted, denied, or revoked at any time.
**Visual Tracking Elements**
Overhead Arrow (3D Indicator): Displays a floating arrow above the player's head that remains visible through walls, caves, and blocks.
**Glow Effect (Custom/Team Colors):** Highlights the player model in their assigned team or custom color (similar to the vanilla Glowing status effect), keeping their silhouette visible through obstacles.
Distance & Direction Indicator: Displays exact distance in blocks near the arrow or on the HUD.
**Custom Color Selection**
- Players can choose their own personal color or have one assigned by their team.
- Both the overhead arrow and the outline glow render in the chosen color.
_**Note: Please verify local server rules before using this mod. Depending on the server's policy, visual tracking features (like wall-penetrating arrows or glow effects) may be considered an unfair advantage or mini-map alternative and could be prohibited or detected as a disallowed modification.**_
