You won't have to rely on co-ordinates to track down your friends in Minecraft thanks to its upcoming drop

Two players in the cherry tree biome in Minecraft.

Minecraft has shared more details on what is coming in its second drop for 2025 in a post on the official blog, including its title—Chase the Skies. But, as excited as I am to take a trip aboard a Happy Ghast and appreciate the beauty of the world thanks to the Vibrant Visuals overhaul, one feature that I am thrilled the game is receiving as part of the update is the player locator bar.

Rather than begging your friends time and time again to share their co-ordinates after they decided it would be funny to run off mid-expedition, you'll now be able to track their whereabouts on a small bar at the bottom of your screen—where your XP bar usually goes.
