Better Lodestones

Vanilla allows one Compass to be bound to one Lodestone at a time, and breaking a Lodestone makes the Compass spin randomly. This mod reworks that relationship: a Compass can be bound to multiple Lodestones, including Lodestones in different dimensions, and a Lodestone that is broken leaves its Compass pointing elsewhere in line with vanilla behavior. Existing Lodestone Compasses from older saves are updated to the new system when a player joins or interacts with them.

The Lodestone recipe is also changed so it costs an Iron Ingot in place of a Netherite Ingot, and the ingredient can be set back in the configuration. The maximum number of Lodestones one Compass can bind is configurable, with 0 meaning no limit by default. The advancements for Lodestones move from the Nether tab to the Adventure tab. Installation requires Architectury API, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
