Player Locator Bar & Compass

1. Show the bar only with a Compass, your choice if in hand, hotbar or inventory.
   Reason: this whould make the Compass more useful, as currently it is very underutilized

2. Make an option to make color points on the bar team dependent
   Reason: could be really useful for multiplayer minigame and  faction servers

3. Make an option to only show players on the same team, maybe unless they are in view
   Reason: useful for faction servers

    Maybe you should only see the player locator bar and be seen by the player locator bar if you hold a player locator compass, crafted with 8 resin blocks and a compass.

    For the compass idea, it would be interesting if it was possible to connect compasses, like with maps, then a player would be able to find another player, as long the other player has a compass with the same connection.
    Not necessarily limited to two compasses, you could have multiple ones that show all the others in the "same frequency".

    As well as only showing the player locator bar if you are holding a compass, I think only players holding an unlinked (not lodestone or recovery) compass (in hand or in hotbar, I don't know) should show up on the player locator bar.

    So if two players are trying to find each other, the compasses would lead them to each other instead of to the worldspawn.
