About this Mod

About:

The compass can search for mobs (based on their drops or spawn eggs), villagers (based on their goods), blocks or containers (like chests or furnaces) by their contents, and more

How it works:

  • Open the Compass menu with RMB
  • Put the block or item you want to find into its inventory
  • Choose the desired search mode(s)
  • Wait while it searches for the item you placed

Features:

  • Shift + RMB on a block or mob to add it to the compass inventory
  • Shift + RMB on an item in the compass inventory to mark it as priority
  • Priority items are searched first
  • Configure HUD, ping sound, search range, and more in the compass menu
  • Use JEI/REI/EMI to drag and drop items into the compass inventory

Configuration:

  • Most values are synchronized from server to client
  • Any search mode can be enabled or disabled
  • The search range (number of scanned chunks per tick) can be set per compass or globally
  • Filtering by item tags, IDs, or mods is available
