Set Up Info Tools for Optimal Gameplay

Equipping Your Info Tools

To use Info Tools effectively, keep the compass, clock, and saddle in your hotbar. You don't need to craft anything special—these are vanilla items that work with the data pack automatically.

Quick Access Strategy

Arrange your hotbar so you can quickly switch to:

  • Compass: For navigation and position tracking during exploration
  • Clock: For monitoring time, especially when planning activities
  • Saddle: Equip this on your horse before long journeys

Consider dedicating specific hotbar slots to each tool so you always know where to find them.

Combining Tools for Efficiency

Use the compass and clock together during exploration to navigate safely and know when to return before nightfall. When traveling by horse, the saddle display keeps you informed about your mount's condition.

Best Practices

Keep backups of these items in your base, as they're consumable resources. The data pack works seamlessly with vanilla gameplay, so there's no special setup required—just equip and play. This streamlined approach lets you focus on building and exploring without constantly accessing menus.
