Maps' 'far out player' icons make it extremely hard to use explorer maps
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a map
- Fly very far away from where you created the map.
-> See that there is now an icon without a 'pointer', so you can't tell in which direction you're going.
This is unlike Bedrock edition, and makes it nearly impossible to use explorer maps without the debug screen. (Cardinal directions, etc.)

Still annoying, [Mod] tryashtar. It’s not exactly common knowledge which way the sun sets, and little kids play this game.
Plus, bedrock edition feature parity.
Thank you for your report!
