Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Finder Compass?
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.
How do I switch between different compass modes?
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.
Why isn't my compass pointing anywhere?
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.
Can I use this compass to find the Nether or End?
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.
