Locator Heads Mod FAQ

Open the mod's config screen from the Mods list or the in-game config menu and make sure head rendering is enabled. Once enabled, nearby players will appear as head icons along your XP bar automatically.

Check that head rendering is enabled in the config and that other players are actually within your render distance. If you're in singleplayer or no one is nearby, no heads will appear.

In the mod's config, adjust the head size setting to scale the icons up or down. Larger sizes make distant players easier to spot, while smaller sizes keep the XP bar less cluttered.

Enable the name rendering option in the config. Once on, each head icon will display the corresponding player's name alongside it.

Heads are positioned along the XP bar based on the direction the player is relative to you, so a head on the left means they're to your left and so on. The closer the head is to the center, the more directly ahead or behind they are.

Enable the compass overlay in the config and pick a color for it. You can also turn on shadow outlining so the direction letters stay readable against bright backgrounds.

Turn on the border option in the config and adjust the border thickness to your liking. Borders help the heads stand out against busy XP bar backgrounds.

Yes, there's an option to always show the XP bar in the config. Enable it if you want the bar visible at all times so the head icons have a consistent place to render.

It's a client-side mod, so it works on any server you can join without needing server-side installation. It generally plays fine with other HUD mods, though overlapping HUD elements may need repositioning in each mod's config.

The mod is lightweight since it only renders small head icons and an optional compass, so performance impact is minimal. If you notice lag, try disabling name rendering or the compass overlay to reduce draw calls.
