Frequently asked questions

What is the Cheaper Compasses recipe?
The compass uses one iron ingot and three iron nuggets in place of the four iron ingots from vanilla. The rest of the recipe is unchanged, so you still need redstone dust. If you're unsure of the layout, look the compass up in a recipe viewer or the in-game recipe book.
Where do I get iron nuggets for the compass?
Craft an iron ingot into nine nuggets at a crafting table. You can also smelt iron tools and armor in a furnace or blast furnace, which gives nuggets back.
How much iron does the cheaper compass save me?
Vanilla needs four full ingots. This recipe needs one ingot plus three nuggets, which is a third of an ingot since nine nuggets make one. That is roughly a third of the original cost.
Can I still craft a compass the old way with four iron ingots?
No. The mod replaces the vanilla recipe instead of adding a second one, so the four-ingot version is not meant to work. Use the ingot-and-nuggets recipe.
