How to get locator bar information in Mineflayer?

[lyuwenhan]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to access locator bar information (the player position indicator / direction indicator on screen) using Mineflayer.

Specifically:

• Is there any packet or API that exposes locator bar data?
• Can it be read from client-bound packets?
• Does Mineflayer provide hooks for this?

If not directly supported, what would be the recommended approach?

Thanks.

It doesn’t seem mineflayer has hooks for this, so therefore, as of now you can use ‘bot._client.on(“ tracked_waypoint”, (packet) => { })’ to do stuff based on the packet.
First, getting the id of the waypoint, based on packet.waypoint.hasUUID, if true, is packet.waypoint.uuid, otherwise packet.waypoint.id
And then, packet.operation, which can be one of: track, untrack, update
The packet.waypoint has the type, for which you should do something. https://prismarinejs.github.io/minecraft-data/?d=protocol&v=1.21.8#play.toClient.types.packet_tracked_waypoint I would only use type 1, as its the most accurate
