Locator Bar
- The Locator Bar is an experimental new UI element for players that displays the direction of Waypoints.
- This experiment allows servers to manage Waypoints and their connections with Players
- By default, all Players transmit a Waypoint from themselves, and all Players receive all Waypoints; allowing players to locate other players in multiplayer
- The Locator Bar will display colored indicators when the camera is facing within 120 degrees towards a Waypoint. - If a Waypoint is above/below the camera's viewport (the screen) an up/down arrow will display
- Any Waypoint that is determined to be a Player or Mob that belongs to a Team then the color indicator will match the Team color
Player Changes
- Crouching will hide the player, preventing them from appearing on the Locator Bar of other players
- Spectators are only visible to other spectators on the Locator Bar

Now we don't have to search for friends by coordinates anymore. So far it's only in bedrock, but I think in the next snapshot will be added to java as well.
Minecraft Preview 1.21.80.20
Locator Bar
- The Locator Bar is a new UI element on the Player HUD that displays the direction of other Players in the World.
- When the Locator Bar Experiment is enabled and there are multiple Players in a World, the Locator Bar will appear on-screen for each Player, replacing the Exp Bar. The Player Level number will still be visible as before above the Locator Bar.
- The Locator Bar will display colored indicators when the camera is facing within 120 degrees towards another Player. If another Player is 30 degrees above or below the camera's viewport (the screen) an up or down arrow will be displayed.
- Crouching will hide the Player, preventing their indicator from appearing on the Locator Bar of other Players.
- Players in Spectator Mode are not visible on the Locator Bar.
- A Mob Head or a Carved Pumpkin will similarly hide Players from the Locator Bar when worn in the head slot.
- Using a Potion of Invisibility will also hide players from the Locator Bar.
- Developer's note: When the Locator Bar moves out of experimental, we plan on making it a feature that Players can toggle on and off.
Known Issues
- The Locator Bar has the following known issue, so we recommend testing it with a Simulation Distance of 4 chunks
- If the Simulation Distance is set to greater than 4 chunks then the Locator Bar may not show players in between 4 chunks and the Simulation Distance.
