## \ud83c\udf0d Dimensions<\/p>\n

When tracking a player in a different dimension, the compass behavior depends on the target’s history:<\/p>\n

– **Same World**: Points directly to target’s real-time location (updates every 0.5s)
\n– **Different World (visited before)**: Points to last known location in your world (usually portal)
\n– **Different World (never visited)**: Shows as “Disabled”
\n– **The End**: Points to End spawn area (0, 100, 0) due to special dimension handling<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udd27 Technical<\/p>\n

### Performance
\nOptimized with update cooldowns, optional hotbar-only mode, smart location caching, and async cache cleanup.<\/p>\n

### Requirements
\n– **Minecraft**: 1.16.4 or higher
\n– **Server**: Spigot, Paper, or Purpur
\n– **Dependencies**: None! Pure Spigot API<\/p>\n
