Standing alongside maps is one of the oldest features that have been added to Minecraft. But today we will be talking about how to use a Minecraft compass. Earlier, these items only had one very specific use in the overworld alone, but recent updates have given this item a new feature to take a look at as well.
Firstly, players will need to either craft or find a compass before they can use it. Thankfully, they are easy to craft, players just need to take a single piece of redstone and surround it with four iron ingots in a crafting table, players will have a compass of their own.
And to use it, all players need to do is hold it in their hands and the red pointer on it will direct them back to the world’s spawn point. In fact, they just always point that way regardless of how they are viewed.

Be it in a chest or in an item frame, they will still all point to this destination. However, when brought to either the Nether or End, compasses will stop all function and just spin around. Players might think it is part of its functionality and might be true as well.
Players will need a block called Lodestone in order to do this. They can be made by surrounding one netherite ingot with 8 chiseled stone bricks on a crafting table. But if players foot this bill and make one of these blocks, they are set to change the direction of their compass points in.
Players just need to place down the Lodestone and right-click on it using their compass of choice, and it will become a new focal point of the compass. This even works in the Nether and End also, giving compasses a new functionality in those dimensions.
