Seeker Compass

Overview

Seeker Compass is a unique navigation tool with advanced entity tracking capabilities. It enables players to locate other players, animals, and pets, making it essential for cooperative adventures and retrieving lost creatures.

To initiate tracking, simply right-click on any living entity. To stop tracking, repeat the action on the already tracked target.

Usage Mechanics

During operation, the compass gradually consumes durability - each second of active tracking reduces it by 1 unit. When durability reaches 1, the tool breaks similarly to elytras and becomes unusable.

The compass starts with 1200 durability points, providing 20 minutes of continuous operation. To repair the tool, use magma cream in an anvil.

Acquisition Methods

  • Nether fortresses - rarely found in corridor chests
  • Bastions - high chance to appear in treasure chests
  • Zombified piglins - very small chance to spawn with it in offhand All generation parameters can be adjusted through configuration files or datapacks.

Display Information

When the compass is active, it shows detailed information about the tracked entity. If the target is in another dimension or dead, the "Alive" section will display "False," blocking all enchantment functions.

The compass keeps tracked entities' chunks loaded to function over long distances, though dimension reloading might reset tracking. In this case, the Tracking enchantment will display the last known position.
