Player Scanner is a lightweight, vanilla-friendly utility mod designed for multiplayer servers, especially for PvP, manhunt, or survival games. It adds a item: the Player Scanner.

How It Works

Craft & Go: Craft the Player Scanner with simple, vanilla-friendly ingredients. No complex machines needed!
Charge & Scan: Hold right-click to charge the device. Once fully charged, it will be consumed, sending out a pulse that reveals the locations of nearby players.
Visualize: A visual effect expands from your position, showing the scan's range. Detected players will be highlighted with a clear, visible marker for a short duration.
Stay Balanced: A configurable cooldown prevents spamming, keeping the gameplay fair and balanced.

Features

Fully Server-Configurable (playerscanner-server.toml): Server administrators have complete control. Adjust the scan radius, charge time, cooldown, marker duration, and even the visual effects to perfectly match your server's gameplay balance.
Stunning Visuals: A sleek, shader effect provides clear feedback on your scan's range, while a highly visible marker makes sure you never lose sight of your target.
Lightweight & Compatible: Designed to be simple and efficient, with no world-gen or complex dependencies, ensuring high compatibility with other mods.
