    The first couple of months of S2 were amazing. I really miss many of the people who had to leave early on due to life circumstances and/or other factors and I hope we'll get to see all of them more.

    Be present at the grand opening!

    My problem with it is that it unnecessarily adds distracting elements to the UI while providing almost no information. It only tells you that someone is towards some direction, some distance away (even an entire server away, as we saw when playing hardcore - I could see everyone while I was at the world border), but not who.

    Colours are assigned randomly every time and are not stable per player, meaning that unless you're going out of your way to meet almost everyone every time you join and keep track of the colours, you still have no clue who Mr Cyan Blob is compared to, say, Ms. Green Blob.

    I'd like it a lot more if it at least showed who is who by default (which I learned from another comment that this is what hermitcraft did with clientside mods). And/or if it gave you detailed information on how far someone actually was, rather than the current 4 ranges:

    square (0–179 blocks),
    circle (179–230 blocks),
    small square (230–281 blocks),
    small circle (281+ blocks)

    Judging from my memory of S2, in most cases, we're all going to be shown as small circles to other players

    Not in vanilla AFAIK. Probably with a mod or texture

    Sounds like a clientside mod, not serverside

    A lot of these kids aren't that tech savvy, they might not know how to get around it.

    They don't necessarily need to be tech savvy to get around it. Kids/teenagers can and will figure out their ways to socialise online even if you try to forbid them to - this has been shown previously in various articles on tildes. They don't need to know about VPNs or proxies; all they may need is simply to self-organise and migrate elsewhere.

    Ban their favourite app and they'll move to another; ban all messaging apps and they'll self organise their own bootleg social media in a place not intended to be social media - and all it takes is someone taking an initiative. And the irony is that there'll be even less "control" there.

    By the way, what's everyone's opinion on the player locator bar? Should it be enabled or disabled?

    I think it looks kind of annoying and I will try to overwrite mine with a texture pack but I wonder whether anyone feels the same?

    Since there is no landmass located at these coordinates, it is not an actual island.

    They're just going to keep moving to different apps or find other ways around the ban every time something changes, IMO
