This mod adds three craftable compasses to the game:

Magnetic Compass

Crafted using 1 (fired) clay bowl, 1 magnetite nugget, and 1 stick. It always points north.

Alternate recipe: use 1 metal scrap instead of magnetite.

Origin Compass

Crafted using 1 Magnetic Compass and 2 Temporal Gears. It always points to the world's default spawn. If the default spawn has a radius, it points to the center of it. This will be the same spot for all players on the server.

Relative Compass

Crafted using 1 Origin Compass and 2 Temporal Gears. That means it'll cost 4 gears total. It remembers where it was crafted and always points to that spot.

Known Issues

Compasses don't point in the correct direction when dropped on the ground, or probably also viewed in another player's hand.

Collaboration?

Changelog

1.1.0 — flipped crafting requirements for Origin and Relative compasses. Origin now requires 2 and Relative now requires 4.

1.1.1 — fixed exploit involving handbook

1.2.0 — compasses can now be placed and the number of gears required to craft them is configurable (thanks JapanHasRice!)
