• Modloader: Forge
• Mod name: Player Tracking Compass
• Mod version: 3.3

Feature Request Description

The Tracking Compass is incredibly useful for locating players, but I would like to suggest adding a configuration file to allow users to customize the minimum tracking distance threshold.

Currently, the compass stops tracking if other players are within a 10-block radius (as stated in the mod description). However, some server environments or gameplay styles might benefit from adjusting this value. For example:

• A server admin might want to increase the minimum distance to 20 blocks for a harder survival experience.
• A player might want to reduce it to 5 blocks for cooperative gameplay.

Proposed Implementation:

• Add a config option (e.g., minimumTrackingDistance or trackingRangeThreshold) in the mod’s configuration file (e.g., trackingcompass-config.toml).
• Ensure this value is reloadable (if possible) to adjust without restarting the game/server.

This feature would greatly enhance the mod’s flexibility and adaptability to different use cases. Thank you for considering this request!

Additional Notes

• The current behavior (default 10 blocks) should remain if the config option is not modified.
• Compatibility with Forge’s config system (e.g., in-game GUI or manual file editing) would be ideal.

Let me know if further details are needed! 😊

Hey!

I appreciate the suggestion! While I'd love to add all features submitted on the issue-tracker, I've got to prioritize working on them due to having limited time. In order to see which features users would like to see most, I've created https://serilum.com/mods/requests, which shows a table with all feature request submitted.

I'm aware that this is not the reaction you were looking for, but the reality is that I can't keep up with the demand. I try to do as much as I can.

Users are able to upvote requests by reacting to the first issue comment on this GitHub page with one of the 👍 😀 🎉 ❤️ 🚀 👀 emoji's. The request with the most unique reactions, will be shown at the top. You can of course add the reactions yourself too, but don't have to :). The author of the feature is already counted as +1.

I won't only focus on popular features in the upcoming years, but it does help with prioritizing. I'll probably work on a combination of popular and interesting/needed/fun submissions.

I'll close this issue with "not planned" as a way to separate an open feature request from an actual completed issue. This does not actually mean it's not planned! Incompatibilities and bug reports will still remain open.

When the feature is implemented, I'll again post a comment and close it as "completed".

Thank you for taking the time to submit the suggestion! ❤️
