About

The Lodestone is a decorative magnetic block crafted from 8 Chiseled Deepslate and 1 Netherite Ingot. When a Compass is used on a Lodestone, it becomes a Lodestone Compass and will point to that Lodestone's location instead of spawn, making it useful for navigation on servers with large maps or multiple bases.

Lodestones can be placed and broken like standard blocks. If a Lodestone is destroyed, any Lodestone Compasses pointing to it will spin randomly. Admins can spawn them with /give @p minecraft:lodestone 1 and stack up to 64 per slot.
