Ever felt like something was lurking just out of sight? Mob Locator gives you a tactical advantage by visualizing "heard" entities directly on your HUD. It uses a sleek, non-intrusive radar system centered on your experience bar to show you exactly where mobs are located relative to your position.
FEATURES
- Dynamic Radar: Mobs appear as icons on your XP bar. Their position shifts as you turn, providing a 180° field of view.
- Distance Scaling: Icons change shape based on proximity. A tiny dot represents a distant sound, while a large square indicates a mob is right on top of you.
- Elevation Indicators: Small arrows appear above or below icons if a mob is more than 3 blocks above or below your current Y-level.
- Smart Classification:
- Hostile: Rendered in Red (includes active threats like Creepers, Zombies, and even angry Neutral mobs like Endermen or Iron Golems).
- Passive: Rendered in White (Cows, Sheep, etc.).
- Invisible: Optionally rendered in Gray so you aren't surprised by Potions of Invisibility or Spiders.
- Variable Hearing Range: Unlike simple radars, this mod uses "hearing" logic. Common mobs appear within 16 blocks, while massive entities like the Ender Dragon (192 blocks) or Wardens (48 blocks) can be detected from much further away.
- Custom Mob Blacklist: Completely hide specific entities from your radar by adding their mob names to the configuration. This allows you to eliminate clutter in farms or areas with high ambient mob density.
HOW TO USE
Simply install the mod and play! The radar is automatically active and sits right above your XP bar.
- Center of the bar: The mob is directly in front of you.
- Left/Right edges: The mob is to your far left or right.
- Up/Down Arrows: The mob is in a cave below you or on a ledge above you.
