Player Link
Player Link lets you and a friend share your live locations with each other, as long as you both have the mod. You send a link request, they accept, and from then on you can each see exactly where the other one is. No more pinging coords back and forth in chat.
It's completely client-side. There's nothing to install on the server, no plugin, no permissions to beg an admin for. If the two of you can /msg each other, it works.
How it works
- Run
/plink request <player>. They get a little clickable [Accept] in chat.
- Once they accept, you're linked. Done.
- You'll see each other as a player head on Xaero's Minimap and World Map (if you use Xaero), plus a small on-screen tracker with their name, how far away they are, and an arrow pointing the way.
- Links are saved, so relogging or restarting doesn't break anything. You only set it up once.
Your positions ride along the server's normal private-message system, and the mod hides those messages so your chat stays clean.
Your coords stay yours
Coordinates are encrypted end-to-end. When you link up, both clients quietly agree on a secret key (X25519) that never actually gets sent across chat, and every position is sealed with it (AES-256). Anyone snooping just sees a blob of nonsense.
Commands
/plink request <player> – ask someone to link
/plink accept / deny <player> – answer a request
/plink unlink <player> / unlinkall – stop sharing
/plink list – see your links and where they are
/plink config – settings menu (also available through Mod Menu)
Good to know
- Both of you need the mod installed.
- You have to be on the same server to see each other live.
- If your server's whisper command isn't
/msg, just set it once: /plink set whisperCommand w (or tell, pm, whatever yours uses).
That's pretty much it. Link up, stop getting lost.!
