Tracer colors

[ItsEkyx1]

Recently I found a problem. Using tracer you can't tell is it a player or a mob. I found this really annoying on survival servers. You're scared because you're new to the server and don't have any gear and you at the first look tell is this a player or just a sheep coming in your direction.

My solution for this is just add colors to tracer that will let you know is it a player or a mob in your distance. Colors can be same as they are on radar. Thanks a lot ;3

The same could be set for esp: different colors for passive, hostile, neutral mobs, players and items

Player already has colored tracers ♿, but @DanCuber has a good point.

You want to differentiate hostile vs passive?

I mean I guess

Yeah or customizable colors for animals, players, monsters etc...

[leijurv]

Players is already customizable so it would be just hostile vs passive

Yeah I'll reorganize this and have three different colors instead of one main color and one override for players.

Interesting idea that takes this to the next next level. The ability to have color overrides based on entity IDs. The code could be written in .json like this: [ { "id": "minecraft:pig", "color": "#FF69B4CC" } ] // Pigs: Hot Pink at 80% Transparency.
IDK, I probably should make a new issue for this.

Not everyone is a JSON hacker you know.

That implies json is difficult and requires a experienced hacker. I mean, all of the other files are written in .json as well. What other solution is there. :/

Propose a solution besides an in-game interface, and tell me why someone of that intelligence would care to even think about that solution.
