Some sort of location tracking mechanic #345

Open JamesTDG opened 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With worlds soon becoming infinite, it is going to be difficult locating your base if you venture too far from home

Describe the solution you'd like Here are some methods to hopefully combat this:

Maps: Not like your traditional Minecraft map, this would make itself a more lore friendly waypoint mechanic, just simply pull out a map, use interact, then it will pull up a menu where you can enable, disable, create, or delete waypoints to a specific spot. When creating waypoints, the player can select the color, icon (standard will be the first letter of the waypoint), and name of the waypoint. The player can only see the waypoint(s) if they have their map active.

Downsides: possibly a bit too powerful to use and could be laggy for the game to have. It would be recommended to provide the following nerfs: restrict the recipe until the player accomplishes a specific task, limit # of waypoints per player to a value between 5 and 10.

It is recommended to have waypoint data saved client side versus server side to prevent storage issues.

Lodestone-like compass mechanic: Just think of bringing the feature from mc into this game, with some changes.

Needed changes to function: nameable items (organization will be required for this.)

Mechanics: uses refined cloud ore to craft the lodestone-like object, compass could be easily crafted using iron and some other resource. When the compass is held, it displays a visible arrow on screen that points to spawn if not paired to a lodestone-like object

Just allow players to display coordinates: It's simple, it's lazy, just do it if you don't feel like you want to add any of the above features.

finally.

This is reliant to #315

Hmm, player can actually already see their coordinates in the debug display.

The map function you have described is quite similar to JourneyMap, and I agree that it is pretty overpowerful. I think this kind of compass can be added as a magic item.
