SimpleCompass was a small plugin which allows to display one (or two) compass in the action bar / boss bar area. It evolves to a "not so simple" compass plugin with lots of options and fully configurable. You can also extend it by using some optional modules which allows to track positions, players, ...
(BTW, thanks to @Shano_dekono for his suggestions and help to identify bugs in early versions!)
Players can easily change their settings with commands, they just have to click on the the one they want. There is also a combined interface in a clickable book which merge compass options and trackers' actions.
In-game options are:
- Use always the compass, never or only in vehicle and/or elytra.
- Use compass in 180° or 360° mode
HELP WANTED:
I would love to have videos showing and explaining the plugin in use, but I'm not good at making videos... If you are able to make one, send me the link (preferred on Youtube) and I will include it (with credit) on this page. English language is IMHO the most important, because it will be understandable by the most of users, but if you want to make a video in another language, I will include it too.
How to install
There is no dependencies, simply drop the jar file into your plugin directory, then restart (or reload) your server. All configuration parameters are explained in this config.yml.
To use the command sctrack, you need at least one tracker addon. You can find them here:
- CoordsTracker: Allows to track specific coordinates.
- DeathPosTracker: Allows to track the last death position.
- PapiPositionTracker: Allows to track positions defined using PlaholderAPI placeholders.
- PlayerTracker: Allows to track players positions.
- PositionTracker: Allows to track static positions.

Have a look at the Spigot plugin thread, maybe other addons (made by other developers) will be listed.
If you have java skills, you can also develop your own tracker addon by extending the AbstractTracker class in a dedicated jar file, read code of those existing trackers as examples. In this case, send me a link, I will add yours in the list on the plugin page.
Make a custom tracker addon is very easy (at least for a dev), so if you need one, ask to a dev: He should be able to do it very quickly for free or low price.

If you're using 1.12.2, I've made a quick port, I will provide no support on it because I'm not using it, but it seems to work well. You can download the 1.12.2 version here. This is based on old version of this plugin with less features, sorry for users of 1.12.2 but I have no time to spend on a complete portage.
Permissions
All permissions are listed with a short description in this plugin.yml.
If you use trackers addons, other permissions are available.
Have a look at your trackers' Github page to know them.
