Cursed Compass
by Mrbysco
Cursed Compass changes the vanilla compass so it points players toward danger instead of the spawn point.
What it does
The mod replaces the normal target of the compass. Rather than leading back to spawn, the needle turns toward a hostile monster nearby, which then follows the position of that target. The item still shows up in chest loot where a plain compass would appear. Cursed Compass is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, released under the MIT License as open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It was made for SpookyJam 2025.
