About
The Compass is a craftable item that always points toward your world spawn point, making it useful for players who need to find their way back. In newer versions, a compass can be attuned to a lodestone, after which it will point to that lodestone instead, handy for marking bases or key locations.
Admins can spawn compasses directly with the /give command. They stack up to 64 in a single inventory slot, so distributing them to players or filling a chest is efficient. Whether a compass points to spawn or a lodestone depends on how it was crafted and what it was paired with.
