The Player Locator Bar: Never lose your way or your friends again! The Player Locator Bar introduces a subtle and intuitive interface element that displays the general direction and approximate distance of nearby players in your multiplayer world. Coordinate builds, embark on group adventures, and easily reunite with your companions, all without breaking the immersive feel of the game.

Universal Leashing (modrinth only): Take control like never before! The Leash Functionality empowers you to attach a lead to any entity in the game – from common farm animals and hostile mobs to even normally un-leashable creatures like villagers and certain bosses (where applicable). This opens up exciting new possibilities for transportation, creative contraptions, and unique challenges. Guide your tamed Happy Ghast with a lead, move villagers to new locations with ease, or devise clever traps using previously unmanageable mobs. The power to leash is now in your hands!
