Minecraft Added new Locator Bar for Multiplayer's

Find your friends more easily – if they want you to

“Where are you??” 

“I’m here!” 

“Here where!??” 

“HERE here!” 

If that conversation sounds familiar, then this one’s for you. Now that all the features from our first game drop of 2025 are in testing, we thought why not start on our next game drop? Adventuring with friends who are lacking in the spatial awareness department can be equally hilarious and infuriating, which is why our developers have come up with the Player Locator bar! This friendship-saving feature is now available in Bedrock beta and preview for you to try out, and it’s coming soon to Java snapshot as well. 

This handy bar is designed to help you and your friends find each other in your Minecraft worlds! It’ll show the location of other players, whether they’re out of sight or behind blocks. The Player Locator bar will show up in the same place as the XP bar whenever other players are in the world, unless you’re actively earning XP. 

Each player gets assigned an icon color to be displayed on the Player Locator bar when they join the multiplayer game. If a player is positioned significantly higher or lower than you, you’ll also see an arrow on top of or below the icon depicting their elevation!
