This mod logs down the positions of all connected players once every few minutes (configurable)
The positions are saved down into
VintagestoryData\ModData\{YourSaveGameIdentifier}\playerpositiontracker\playerpositions-{yyyy-MM-dd}.json (one new file per day)
Example log:

If you logged down positions every 2 minutes (which is the default) for 50 players, you would generate about 4MB of logs per day, which is basically nothing.
The configuration can be found at VintagestoryData\ModConfig\playerpositiontrackerconfig.json
What is this mod useful for?
- Generating cool-looking graphs about player movement
- Tracking down rulebreaks like robberies and grief
- Extra info for general investigations

This is simply for log purposes as of now.
I am thinking about making this into a client-side mod for the admins that would overlay timestamps and positions on a map, but it is not a priority atm.

Are they displayed on the map, or is this simply for tracking them via log purposes?
I saw what you did there
