Sol's Party System v1.3 - Minecraft 1.16.5

Ping marker overhaul

• Ping markers now match the modern 1.20.1+ presentation.
• Added a clear black outline and white center dot to every ping marker.
• Added the pinging player's name and the distance to the ping.
• Added directional edge indicators for pings that are behind you or outside the screen.
• Pings now render as stable screen overlays, preventing far-distance clipping and broken world-space text.
• Marker size now adapts to distance and GUI scale for consistent readability.
• Ping animations and expiration fading now apply to the complete marker and label.
• Pings now land on the exact block face you targeted instead of the block's top-center position.

Party member markers

• Party member markers now use the same modern screen-space rendering used by the latest port.
• Added solid circular rendering, a black outline, a white center, subtle pulsing, and distance-aware sizing.
• Improved marker alignment above players and visibility at long distances.
• Marker visibility preferences, offline status, and death status continue to be respected.
• Fixed party member markers remaining visible at stale Overworld coordinates after a teammate traveled to another dimension.
• Player markers are now only rendered when the viewer and that party member are in the same dimension.
• Unknown or not-yet-synchronized locations are safely hidden instead of being rendered in the wrong world.

Reliability and polish

• Hardened keyboard and mouse shortcut handling against invalid, canceled, or early input events.
• Prevented party shortcuts from running before the player, world, keybinds, or client configuration are ready.
• Corrected the documented default ping key from Z to X.

HUD improvements

• Expanded and reorganized party cards to give dimension information its own clear line.
• Long usernames are now shortened according to their actual on-screen pixel width.
• Player names, status labels, the [You] tag, and level text no longer overlap or break the HUD layout.
• Long modded-dimension names are also shortened cleanly while keeping the card aligned.

NEW: Dimension-aware parties

• The party HUD now shows the current dimension for you and every party member.
• Vanilla dimensions use clean names such as Overworld, The Nether, and The End.
• Modded dimensions are supported automatically and display a readable name together with their mod namespace when space allows.
• Party member locations update immediately when a player changes dimension, with the regular live sync retained as a fallback.
