Nature's Compass: Explorer's Edition

The compass item points toward the closest occurrence of a chosen biome, and it can be set to point at the world spawn instead. A player calibrates it in a Biome Table, which opens when a cartography table is right-clicked while holding the compass, so the biome can be picked from a list rather than found by exploring first. Calibration recipes are shown in JEI, and the mod includes integrations for JEI and EMI.

Compasses already calibrated to rarer biomes turn up as dungeon loot and in a desert temple, which gives players a route to uncommon terrain without searching for it first. A calibrated compass can be shared with friends so they can find the same biome elsewhere. Modded biomes can be supported through the config, and the items that calibrate the compass for each biome can be defined there too. This edition is a modified version of Chaosyr's original mod and differs from other versions by letting players search without first finding the biome themselves.
