How to use the compass?
The compass will point to the world spawn point, set in default mode. There is no need to equip it; keep an eye on the icon in your inventory.
Remember, while using a compass on a lodestone, it will point to the lodestone instead. however, if you break the lodestone, the compass will no longer work. you may use multiple compasses with lodestones to keep track of important landmarks.
In order to activate a lodestone, put it on the ground, equip the compass, then use it on the lodestone.
