Dyeable Compasses

by Lemon

Dyeable Compasses lets players dye the needle of a compass, so each compass can show its own color.

FabricForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.2 – 1.19.3

What it does

Dyeing works like colored leather armor: combining dyes produces the color a player wants, and the result is applied to the compass needle. A compass that carries a dye color behaves like a regular compass, and the cauldron no longer accepts dye for water. Lodestone compasses lose their enchantment glint, which the author says made them harder to read at a glance. Architectury API is required, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files exist for 1.19.2 and 1.19.3 on Fabric and Forge, under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Colored compass needles

    The needle of a compass can be dyed in any color that players mix from dyes.

  2. Mixing dyes

    Combining dyes produces a custom color, applied the same way as on leather armor.

  3. Lodestone compass glint removed

    Lodestone compasses no longer show the enchantment glint, so their needles are easier to read.

What the author says

Allows you to dye the compass needle to any color. Works just like a regular compass, but with a color. Can combine dyes to make any color you desire (like leather armor). Remove the dye in a water cauldron. Also removes the enchantment glint from lodestone compasses because that just makes them harder to read for no…
