NorthernCompassRevived
by AxoIsAxo
NorthernCompassRevived is a NeoForge client-side mod that keeps a compass pointing north, maintained as a revived version of an earlier project.
What it does
The compass in this mod always shows north, regardless of where the player stands. It is a continuation of the original NorthernCompass, which had not received updates for about two years, and it carries new fixes from this project. Only the client needs the mod; servers run without it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files target 1.21.1 only, with the latest NeoForge build 1.21.1-1.1.3 published on 2026-05-14.
