Switch Tracked Targets Quickly Mid-Game

In a hectic minigame or a group search, you may need to stop following one player and lock onto another. The plugin has a shortcut for this.

The Crouch-Click Shortcut

1. Hold your tracking compass in your main hand.

2. Hold Shift (sneak) so your character crouches.

3. Right-click while still crouching.

4. The target selection menu opens. Click the new player you want to follow.

5. Release Shift and check the needle. It now points at your new target.

You can do this as often as you like. There is no need to drop the compass, get a new one, or run any command.

When Switching Is Useful

• Manhunt with several runners: If one runner is far away and another is close, switch to the closer one.
• Group meetups: Track the first friend until you reach them, then switch to the next person still missing.
• Team minigames: Retarget whenever the objective changes, for example when a new player becomes "it."

Tips

• Switch somewhere safe. The menu takes your attention for a moment, so you can be caught off guard.
• If a player you expected doesn't show up as trackable, they may have left the server. They may also have the pt.bypass permission, which stops other users from tracking them.
• If crouch-clicking doesn't open the menu, make sure you still have the pt.track permission and are holding the compass, not another item.
