Locator Bar on Minecraft Bedrock
Bedrock now calls this Player waypoints. Marker colors are random each session, so a Java UUID color tool cannot predict them.
Current for Bedrock after Player waypoints shipped as a default setting.
Bedrock has the same job — show other players on a HUD strip — and a different implementation. Colors are rolled at the start of a session. They are not derived from a UUID, so the homepage checker will not match what you see.
What Bedrock calls it
The setting is Player waypoints. Everyone is the default. Off hides the strip. Builds from 26.30 onward retired the older locatorbar rule name.
Java chat commands do not port. If you pasted locator_bar into a Bedrock world, that is why nothing happened.
What the homepage tool cannot do
| Edition | How color is chosen | Can this site compute it |
|---|---|---|
| Java 1.21.6+ | UUID hash, then 90% brightness | Yes |
| Bedrock | Random each session | No |
A Bedrock name lookup can still return a UUID. That UUID is real. It is just not the thing Bedrock uses to paint the marker.
