No Compasses

This mod removes all compasses from Minecraft, so you can’t craft or use them to find world spawn. You’re forced to navigate using landmarks, maps, or just memory.

About this Mod

No Compasses deletes the compass item, its crafting recipe, and any structure loot that normally contains one. Without compasses, players lose the easiest way to locate spawn or orient themselves while exploring. Navigation becomes harder, getting lost is way more common, and exploring the world feels more risky and realistic. It’s a small tweak that completely changes how you travel and survive.
