How to Disable the Locator Bar / Player Waypoints

The locator bar shows the position of other players on your screen. You can disable it using a gamerule command on both Java and Bedrock servers.

Java Edition

The command varies depending on your server version:

1.21.11 and later (including 26.x):

1. Go to the Console tab in your panel.
2. Type the following command in the console and press Enter: gamerule locator_bar false

1.21.6 through 1.21.10:

1. Go to the Console tab in your panel.
2. Type the following command in the console and press Enter: gamerule locatorBar false

Bedrock Edition

26.30 and later:

1. Go to the Console tab in your panel.
2. Type the following command in the console and press Enter: gamerule playerWaypoints off

Earlier Bedrock versions:

1. Go to the Console tab in your panel.
2. Type the following command in the console and press Enter: gamerule locatorBar false

📝 Note: These gamerule changes take effect immediately and do not require a server restart. However, they will reset when your world is recreated or reinstalled.
