Minecraft – way to find where other players are in the Minecraft world without asking them for their coordinates

Is there a way to find where other players are in the Minecraft world without asking them for their coordinates? I play with friends. We've sort of aligned ourselves in a 2 vs 2 match-up, and since we wanna PvP with them, we need to find them first.

No, not without mods (and even then this is functionality most modders don't care about creating). You're going to have to hunt them the old-fashioned way.

Look for signs of passage: half-harvested trees, temporary shelters, mined ore, cobblestone. Lay traps: place tempting things and wait in a camouflaged spot. Find their base(s).
