About this Mod

Dark Compass

This mod adds two items, a new compass and a material used to craft it.
Mob Spawners will now drop a Spawner Fragment when broken.
This fragment can be combined with an amethyst shard to create a Dark Compass.
This compass, when used, locks onto the nearest dark patch within a 50 block square radius.
Useful for finding any hidden patches underneath your base.\

Has support for Compass3D by AdamRaichu.

Dark Compass server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Dark Compass – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dark Compass consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
