Thanks, I'm glad you like the mod. I have actually considered making a server-side mod/plugin, and you are not the first to request/suggest it. The reason I haven't done it yet is that I haven't had that much free time, and I don't have any experience with server-side mod/plugin development (or sending packets to a Minecraft mod...). But now I should have some more free time to look into it. Maybe I can see how other multiloader server plugins do it (like Simple Voice Chat, etc...). If you tell me on which server software ( fabric, paper, ...) you would run it, I can prioritise it and send an early alpha as soon as I have something working.
That makes total sense, and I appreciate such a quick and explanatory response. :) As someone who is learning java, I wouldn't even know where to start with that, so I definitely get it. I appreciate that you're even going to look into it! As for server software, I use fabric. I really appreciate that you're taking interest in it, thank you so much! This would definitely be a game changer for multiplayer servers for me.
Hello! I would like to first state how cool this mod is; thank you for making it! Going into the request, web maps like dynmap can be taxing on the performance of a server, which is why I don't typically use them. Is there any way that you could make a server-side mod that could broadcast just player locations to the client instead?
Similar to how clients with Simple Voice Chat installed connect to a server voice chat, this extra server-side mod could send player locations to clients with the remote player waypoints mod installed.
I don't know if this is possible, just in theory. Thanks for your consideration!
