Finder Compass Mod FAQ

Place a compass in the center of a crafting table, then place diamonds in the four cardinal directions (top, bottom, left, right). If the server has crafting disabled, the compass may already be available in your inventory or creative menu.

Hold the Finder Compass in your hand and right-click (or use your USE key) to cycle through the available modes. Each mode has a different needle that points to different things like diamonds, strongholds, or mob spawners.

Make sure you're holding the compass and have switched to a mode that has something to find in your current area—for example, the diamond mode won't point anywhere if there are no diamonds nearby. Some modes may also be disabled by the server administrator.

The Finder Compass modes depend on what the server or world has enabled; check which modes are available by cycling through them. Standard modes point to things like diamonds, strongholds, and mob spawners, but additional modes may vary by configuration.

The compass will function in these dimensions, but some modes may not work as expected—for example, a stronghold-finding mode may not be useful in the End since strongholds don't generate there.

The detection range depends on the mode and server configuration, but the compass will only point to things that exist in the loaded or nearby chunks. If the needle doesn't point anywhere, the target may be too far away or doesn't exist in your current area.

No—the needle updates to point toward the nearest target for your current mode. If you move or the target moves, the needle will adjust accordingly.

Yes, but the server administrator must have the mod installed and enabled. They can configure which modes are available and whether players need to craft the compass or have it provided.

You'll need to craft a new one using the same recipe (compass in the center with diamonds on all four sides), or ask the server administrator if they can provide another one.
