Hide Players from Tracking and Control Who Can Use It

Server admins may not want every player to be trackable or to hand out compasses freely. The plugin's three permission nodes cover this. Assign them with your server's permission manager.

The Three Permissions

| Permission | What it does |

|---|---|

| pt.track | Lets a player use the tracker compass (open the menu and follow a target). |

| pt.bypass | Prevents this player from being tracked by other users. |

| pt.compass | Lets a player use the /ptcompass command to get a tracking compass. |

Common Setups

Protect staff and builders from being tracked:

1. Add pt.bypass to your staff or builder group.

2. Have a regular player right-click a compass and confirm they cannot track those staff members.

Allow tracking only during events:

1. Leave pt.track off your default group.

2. Give pt.track to an event group, and add players to it when a game starts.

3. Remove them afterward so compasses go back to behaving normally for them.

Stop compass spam:

  • Give pt.compass only to admins or event hosts. They can run /ptcompass and hand compasses out. Players with only pt.track can still use any compass they already have.

Troubleshooting

  • *"I right-click and nothing opens"*: the player is missing pt.track.
  • *"/ptcompass is denied"*: the player is missing pt.compass.
  • *"I can't track someone who is online"*: that player probably has pt.bypass.
