Now that all of the features for the first game drop of 2025 are in testing, we thought we'd get started on our next game drop, starting with… the Player Locator bar! If your friends are always wandering off in multiplayer, this new bar will help you track them down! This bar replaces the XP bar in multiplayer mode and indicates other players' location using colorful icons. If you're a stealth player who likes to surprise your friends, then you can stay off your friends' radars by sneaking, disguising yourself, or by drinking a potion of Invisibility. Test the locator bar now in Bedrock Preview and Beta, and don't forget to send in your feedback at feedback.minecraft.net! You can also report any bugs at bugs.mojang.com. The Player Locator bar is coming to Java snapshot soon.
Experimental Features
Locator Bar
The Locator Bar is a new UI element on the Player HUD that displays the direction of other Players in the World.
When the Locator Bar Experiment is enabled and there are multiple Players in a World, the Locator Bar will appear on-screen for each Player, replacing the Exp Bar. The Player Level number will still be visible as before above the Locator Bar.
The Locator Bar will display colored indicators when the camera is facing within 120 degrees towards another Player. If another Player is 30 degrees above or below the camera's viewport (the screen) an up or down arrow will be displayed.
Crouching will hide the Player, preventing their indicator from appearing on the Locator Bar of other Players.
Players in Spectator Mode are not visible on the Locator Bar.
A Mob Head or a Carved Pumpkin will similarly hide Players from the Locator Bar when worn in the head slot.
Using a Potion of Invisibility will also hide players from the Locator Bar.
Developer's note: When the Locator Bar moves out of experimental, we plan on making it a feature that Players can toggle on and off.
Known Issues
- The Locator Bar has the following known issue, so we recommend testing it with a Simulation Distance of 4 chunks
- If the Simulation Distance is set to greater than 4 chunks then the Locator Bar may not show players in between 4 chunks and the Simulation Distance

Goals
minecraft:behavior.float_wander has been updated with new fields:
- navigate_around_surface: enables the usage of a new algorithm to find random positions to navigate to. The new algorithm aims to find random positions in the vicinity of solid (i.e. non-Air and non-liquid) blocks, and if that fails will fall back to finding a random position in the vicinity of the current dimension's surface level.
- additional_collision_buffer: makes sure there are no blocks present in an inflated area around the target position.
- allow_navigating_through_liquids: allow the mob to have target positions inside liquids
- surface_xz_dist: the distance in the horizontal directions to look for nearby surfaces. Only valid when navigate_around_surface is true.
- surface_y_dist: the distance in the vertical directions to look for nearby surfaces. Only valid when navigate_around_surface is true.
minecraft:behavior.follow_mob has been updated with the following new fields
- use_home_position_restriction: If true, the mob will respect the 'minecraft:home' component's 'restriction_radius' field when choosing a target to follow. If false, it will choose target position without considering home restrictions.
- preferred_actor_type: The type of actor to prefer following. If left unspecified, a random actor among those in range will be chosen.
- filters: If non-empty, provides criteria for filtering which nearby Mobs can be followed. If empty default criteria will be used, which will exclude Players, Squid variants, Fish variants, Tadpoles, Dolphins, and mobs of the same type as the owner of the Goal.
Marketplace
- Upon reading encrypted files on Xbox we would sometimes lose the last byte, causing some files to become invalid and fail to load.
Network Protocol

Structures
- Fixed mirroring of door blocks when part of a structure that is being placed.
