PlayerLocator - Admin Tracking Tool

Overview

A lightweight but powerful Minecraft server plugin that gives admins the ability to pinpoint any player's exact coordinates with a simple command. This essential administrative tool helps server staff maintain order and provide assistance without the need to teleport or become visible to players.

Key Features

🔍 Precise Player Tracking

Query a player's exact X, Y, Z coordinates with decimal precision using the /locate command. The plugin provides formatted output that's easy to read at a glance.

🌐 World Awareness

Multi-world support with clear indication of which dimension the player is in (overworld, nether, end, or any custom worlds).

🛡️ Admin-Only by Default

Permissions-based command access ensures only authorized staff can track players, protecting player privacy while giving admins the tools they need.

⚙️ Extensive Configuration

Customize everything from message formats to notification settings. Make the plugin work exactly how your server needs it to.

🔔 Optional Player Notifications

Configure whether players are notified when an admin checks their location - great for transparency on community-focused servers.

📱 Self-Location Check

Staff can check their own coordinates using the same command without arguments, making it a multi-purpose tool for administrators.

🎨 Clean Interface

Color-coded messages make information easy to parse at a glance, with customizable formats for different types of location reports.

💻 Developer-Friendly

Clean code with comprehensive comments makes it easy to extend the plugin with your own features.

Planned Features

Future updates will expand the plugin's capabilities with:

• Location history tracking
• Movement pattern analysis
• Distance calculation between players
• Map integration
• Webhook notifications for suspicious player activities
• Player grouping and batch location checks
