🧭 Compass Cleaner
Tired of magnetized or renamed compasses cluttering your inventory once they're no longer needed?
✨ What It Does
Compass Cleaner is a tiny but handy mod that lets you fully reset compasses via a simple shapeless crafting recipe — removing any lodestone binding, custom name, or other NBT data:
Input: [Magnetized Compass]
Output: [Clean Compass]
No paper, no tools, no extra steps — just drop it into the crafting grid and it's reset to a normal compass.
🧩 Why Use It?
- ✅ No more confusion between active and obsolete compasses
- ✅ Minimalist — no new items, no GUI, no configs
- ✅ Vanilla-friendly design and recipe
- ✅ Client/server compatible
- ✅ Ideal for mods using magnetized compasses (e.g., for teleportation, loot tracking, dimension anchors, etc.)
