Vitek’s Player Finder (Triangulate Waypoints)

Vitek’s Player Finder is a clever utility mod designed to help you locate distant players, structures, or landmarks using the real-world mathematical principle of triangulation.

Instead of running thousands of blocks to find out where a base or a player is, you can now pinpoint their exact coordinates from a distance by taking just two directional sights!

✨ Features

• True Triangulation: Calculate exact coordinates of distant targets using geometric intersection.
• Seamless Map Integration: Automatically creates a waypoint at the intersection point.
• Fully Configurable: Easily change the hotkey in your standard Minecraft controls menu.
• Perfect for SMP & Anarchy: Ideal for tracking down other players, hunting bases, or mapping out distant structures safely.

🛠️ How It Works (Step-by-Step)

Using the mod is simple, but requires a small change in your position to calculate the intersection:

1. First Sight (Point A): Look directly at your target (or the direction where you think a player/base is) and press the “V” key (default). This casts the first imaginary line.
2. Move Away: Walk a reasonable distance to the left or right to create an angle (this forms your baseline).
3. Second Sight (Point B): Look at the same target from your new position and press “V” again.
4. Boom, Waypoint! The mod will automatically calculate where those two lines intersect and instantly create a Xaero’s waypoint at that exact spot.

🚀 Requirements & Compatibility

To function properly, this mod requires a map system to plot the coordinates. You must install the following mods for this to work:

• Fabric API
• Xaero’s Minimap
• Xaero’s World Map

Currently only compatible with Fabric 1.21.11.
