Currently you don't see the dots of NPCs on the minimap that are behind the player. This makes harder to use minimap to find certain mob types and it doesnt make any sense for mobs to be not displayed behind the player since players are displayed already even behind.

Change it so mobs behind the players also displayed on minimap, indicated by a red circle on the image:

Hi there, I agree with your suggestion to add this to the 2D map. However, in the meantime, did you know that this is already possible to see on the 3D map? It could help you until the devs get around to adding that feature.
