Surveyor's Compass
Ever wished your compass could point to something other than spawn? Surveyor's Compass adds a special compass that can be configured to point toward nearby structures.
How it works
- Craft a Surveyor's Compass: a regular compass surrounded by 8 cobblestone.
- Right-click to open its configuration screen.
- Place a key item in the center slot to choose what it tracks.
- The needle will automatically point toward the nearest matching structure.
- You can see how to craft one in the gallery tab.
Key items
| Key item | Structure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Any log | Village | |
| Kelp | Shipwreck | |
| Netherrack | Nether Fortress | Nether only |
| Gold Ingot | Bastion Remnant | Nether only |
| Ender Eye | Stronghold |
The compass remembers its configured key item even after closing the GUI or relogging, and can be reconfigured at any time by swapping the item in its slot.
Requirements
Notes
- The compass is not stackable.
- Placing a key item plays a small click sound and searches for the nearest matching structure around the player.
- If no matching structure is found nearby, or the key item doesn't match anything, the needle spins freely.
