Mob Locator gives you a tactical advantage by visualizing &#8220;heard&#8221; entities directly on your HUD. It uses a sleek, non-intrusive radar system centered on your experience bar to show you exactly where mobs are located relative to your position.<\/p>\n<p>| **FEATURES** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Dynamic Radar: Mobs appear as icons on your XP bar. Their position shifts as you turn, providing a 180\u00b0 field of view.<br \/>\n&#8211; Distance Scaling: Icons change shape based on proximity. A tiny dot represents a distant sound, while a large square indicates a mob is right on top of you.<br \/>\n&#8211; Elevation Indicators: Small arrows appear above or below icons if a mob is more than 3 blocks above or below your current Y-level.<br \/>\n&#8211; Smart Classification:<br \/>\n  &#8211; Hostile: Rendered in Red (includes active threats like Creepers, Zombies, and even angry Neutral mobs like Endermen or Iron Golems).<br \/>\n  &#8211; Passive: Rendered in White (Cows, Sheep, etc.).<br \/>\n  &#8211; Invisible: Optionally rendered in Gray so you aren&#8217;t surprised by Potions of Invisibility or Spiders.<br \/>\n&#8211; Variable Hearing Range: Unlike simple radars, this mod uses &#8220;hearing&#8221; logic. Common mobs appear within 16 blocks, while massive entities like the Ender Dragon (192 blocks) or Wardens (48 blocks) can be detected from much further away.<br \/>\n&#8211; Custom Mob Blacklist: Completely hide specific entities from your radar by adding their mob names\u00a0to the configuration. This allows you to eliminate clutter in farms or areas with high ambient mob density.<\/p>\n<p>| **HOW TO USE** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>Simply install the mod and play! The radar is automatically active and sits right above your XP bar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Center of the bar: The mob is directly in front of you.<br \/>\n&#8211; Left\/Right edges: The mob is to your far left or right.<br \/>\n&#8211; Up\/Down Arrows: The mob is in a cave below you or on a ledge above you.<\/p>\n<p>| **CONFIGURATION** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>If you have Mod Menu and Cloth Config installed, you can customize your experience:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Show Invisible Mobs: Toggle whether the radar picks up invisible entities.<br \/>\n&#8211; Custom Colors: Change the Hex colors for Hostile, Passive, and Invisible indicators to suit your preference or resource pack.<br \/>\n&#8211; Config File: Located at .minecraft\/config\/moblocator.json.<\/p>\n<p>| **REQUIREMENTS** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Fabric Loader<br \/>\n&#8211; Fabric API<br \/>\n&#8211; Cloth Config API<br \/>\n&#8211; Mod Menu (recommended for easy in-game configuration)<\/p>\n<p>| **CLIENT-SIDE ONLY** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>All functionality is done client-side and is compatible with vanilla servers.<\/p>\n<p>| **FREE &#038; OPEN SOURCE** |<br \/>\n|-|<\/p>\n<p>This is a completely free project.
