🌍 Dimensions

When tracking a player in a different dimension, the compass behavior depends on the target's history:

• Same World: Points directly to target's real-time location (updates every 0.5s)
• Different World (visited before): Points to last known location in your world (usually portal)
• Different World (never visited): Shows as "Disabled"
• The End: Points to End spawn area (0, 100, 0) due to special dimension handling

🔧 Technical

Performance

Optimized with update cooldowns, optional hotbar-only mode, smart location caching, and async cache cleanup.

Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.16.4 or higher
• Server: Spigot, Paper, or Purpur
• Dependencies: None! Pure Spigot API
