Minecraft’s New Feature Could Disrupt Classic Multiplayer Modes
While the existence of locator maps has already allowed Minecraft players to find others in nearby areas, the new Player Locator Bar feature overlaying players’ XP bars seems to go much further than these maps. But even though Mojang appears to have anticipated the need to balance this feature with Minecraft‘s current gameplay, the ability to easily locate other players anywhere in a multiplayer world could jeopardize other PvP-like game modes. With Mojang expected to continue working on Minecraft and potentially its new Player Locator Bar in future updates, then the multiplayer experience could radically change as a result.
