A Compass points towards the player's original spawn point, whether in their inventory screen, in chests, lying on the floor, in crafting or while holding it in their hand. You can also obtain Compasses through NPC Villager trading.
Usage[]
To use the compass simply hold it in the Player's hand and it will appear in the lower HUD. The needle will point in the direction of the spawn point. Simply rotate around until the needle is pointing straight up, signifying that the spawn point is straight ahead. Travel in that direction and you will see the spawn, assuming the needle remains pointing straight up.
Trivia[]
- Using a compass in The Nether and The End will make it useless. A compass in these areas will spin in a clock-wise motion and will not point to a specific direction or object.
- The Compass works in the inventory and hotbar.
