SpyHunt-Compass

Minecraft Platform Java Version: 1.0.1 License Discord

A lightweight player-tracking compass plugin for Minecraft Paper and Spigot servers (1.21+). Originally built as the tracking system for the SpyHunts manhunt gamemode, this plugin works standalone for survival, SMPs, and minigames.

Features

  • Live Tracking: Needle updates every second to point toward the target player without placing physical lodestone blocks.
  • Cross-Dimension Portals: When a target enters the Nether or End, the compass points to the portal where they left your dimension.
  • Multi-Target Cycling: Store multiple runners on a single compass and right-click to cycle between them.
  • Dynamic Lore: Item lore updates in real time to show the currently tracked player and total target count.
  • Offline Recovery: Retains the target's last seen position if they disconnect. Offline players can still be removed with /tracker remove.
  • Manhunt Privacy: Player names are hidden from tab completion on /tracker add and /tracker remove to avoid meta-gaming.
  • SMP Admin Controls: Built-in config toggles allow server owners to restrict /track strictly to staff/admins.
  • Persistent Data: Tracking state is saved on the compass item (PersistentDataContainer), so compasses can be stored in chests or shared with teammates.
