What it does

A compass crafted from four Eyes of Ender points to the nearest End portal instead of spawn. Crafting it takes four Eyes of Ender, and the result is an item called Ender Compass. Because it follows the End portal, it works as a navigation tool for finding strongholds in a survival world.

Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Fabric only, with six release builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Points to the End portal

    The crafted compass shows the direction of the nearest End portal, not the world spawn point.

  2. Crafted from Eyes of Ender

    The item is made from four Eyes of Ender, placing it at the stronghold stage of progression.

  3. Spins in other dimensions

    In the Nether and the End the needle spins randomly, as no portal direction applies there.

What the author says

In the nether or end, the compass spins around randomly, as there are no strongholds in these dimensions. The same is true in the overworld if structure generation is disabled.
