Vitek's Player Finder (Triangulate Waypoints)
No reviews yet
When you press the "V" key (you can change it in the settings), press it once, then move away and look in the same direction, 2 "lines" are drawn and if they intersect, a waypoint is created at the intersection point

Description
Vitek's Player Finder (Triangulate Waypoints)
Vitek's Player Finder is a clever utility mod designed to help you locate distant players, structures, or landmarks using the real-world mathematical principle of triangulation.
Instead of running thousands of blocks to find out where a base or a player is, you can now pinpoint their exact coordinates from a distance by taking just two directional sights!
✨ Features
- True Triangulation: Calculate exact coordinates of distant targets using geometric intersection.
- Seamless Map Integration: Automatically creates a waypoint at the intersection point.
- Fully Configurable: Easily change the hotkey in your standard Minecraft controls menu.
- Perfect for SMP & Anarchy: Ideal for tracking down other players, hunting bases, or mapping out distant structures safely.
🛠️ How It Works (Step-by-Step)
Using the mod is simple, but requires a small change in your position to calculate the intersection:
- First Sight (Point A): Look directly at your target (or the direction where you think a player/base is) and press the "V" key (default). This casts the first imaginary line.
- Move Away: Walk a reasonable distance to the left or right to create an angle (this forms your baseline).
- Second Sight (Point B): Look at the same target from your new position and press "V" again.
- Boom, Waypoint! The mod will automatically calculate where those two lines intersect and instantly create a Xaero's waypoint at that exact spot.
🚀 Requirements & Compatibility
To function properly, this mod requires a map system to plot the coordinates. You must install the following mods for this to work:
- Fabric API
- Xaero's Minimap
- Xaero's World Map
Currently only compatible with Fabric 1.21.11.
