About:
This mod backports the locator bar that lets you see where your friends are from modern Minecraft to a heavily modified version of beta 1.7.3 called Better Than Adventure!
This mod adds an xp-like bar just above your hotbar that lets you see where your friends are indicated by a colored dot!
As you move your camera, the dot changes in the x direction to indicate where your friend is! And as you move further away from your friend, their dot gets smaller!
Planned Features:
Not every feature of the locator bar has been added yet; this is what is planned:
- Y-level difference indicator
- The bar does not track a player outside of one's own render distance.
- More...
