Always see other players on the map?

[doomstrike53]

Recently started playing with some people in multiplayer, but it's hard to keep track of where everyone is when they disappear off the map after a certain distance. Is there a way to not have that happen, like a group invite or mod or something?

Also interested in an answer for this. Posted a similar question a few weeks back but haven't had any reply as of yet. Do hope there is a way to remove the view distance limit on player icons.

I think it's a setting the admin sets when creating the world.  But with no experience in such things, I could be horrifically (pardon the pun) wrong.

Hey found a solution

Next to the server config file is "servermagicfiles.json" in there one of the first lines is "Default entity tracking distance" that's the player distance and the number is the ammount of chunks basically set it to something really high like 100 or so and it should work nearly cross map

Does this work on singleplayer games opened to LAN?
