TStar's FangFinder
Uses evoker fangs to find plays exact locations
FangFinder is a Minecraft mod for fabric 1.21.11 to 26.2 that watches evoker fang attacks and works out the exact direction they were fired in. Point two or more of these attacks at the same player from different spots and the mod automatically figures out where they are.
It doesn't send anything to the server and doesn't give you any info the server isn't already sending you. It just reads it more carefully than a person could in such a short amount of time.
All versions back to 1.21.11 are currently in the works. [UPDATE: They are all released now.]
What you need
To actually use this, you need an in-game contraption that damages an evoker and makes it attack a specific player. This mod doesn't build that for you. It just reads the result. Below are two ready-made builds you can use.
Schematics
This is the main machine. Damage the evoker with the target players wind charge and it'll make the other evoker fire a fang attack straight at a target player, which FangFinder then reads.

(Both files load with Litematica or any mod/tool that reads .litematic / .schem files.) WARNING: Litematica currently has an RCE exploit on versions > 0.27.9 (0.27.9 is safe to my knowledge). PLEASE UPDATE YOUR LITEMATICA MOD

A companion/alternate build for the same purpose.
Credit
These machines were not designed by me. I only stumbled across them and I'm sharing them here for convenience. All credit for the actual design goes to:
BowAssassin35 on YouTube

Special thanks to 07km for being so helpful and guiding me on how to properally credit him.
I originally found these schematics in this Discord server: Discord: discord.gg/sx83X3ccSA
The mod's Orbital Strike Cannon calculator is also not my design. It's a port of cubicmetre's fire-control tool. Full credit to them:

How to use it
- Build one of the machines above somewhere out in the world.
- Get the evokers into it and damage them with the windcharge from your target player. it'll tell the other evoker to fire a fang attack at your target.
- Repeat from a second machine, somewhere else, aimed at the same target.
- FangFinder shows the target's position on your screen automatically once it has two attacks to compare.
The more attacks (from more spread-out machines) you feed it, the more accurate the position gets.
For an indepth explaination into this machine and how it works I recommend you check out these two videos:

Is this allowed on my server?
Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the server's rules, since it does let you find another player's coordinates without seeing them directly. Check with server staff before using it. However, this exploits no unintentional features and this mod simply allows for you to be more precise. These calculations can be done without a calculator; however are way more difficult. Note however, this machine doesn't work on server architectures such as paper, folia and other forks. Spigot probably doesn't work either, as I believe they change the tagging on entities too.
