Structure Finder
Structure Finder lets players locate nearby buildings and structures with a special compass that shows how many blocks away the target is.
What it does
A player who wants a specific structure crafts a special compass, and the compass points toward the nearest matching building while the game displays the distance in blocks. The mod is aimed at players who have trouble locating structures in a large world, and it runs on Fabric in both single-player and on multiplayer servers. Installing it on the server and on each client is required, since the environment is client and server.
Key features
Structure compass
A crafted compass points toward a chosen building or structure and reports how far away it is.
Distance readout
The game shows the number of blocks between the player and the target, so searches can be planned.
Custom crafting recipe
The special compass is made by placing a regular compass in the center of a crafting grid surrounded by toadstools.
