Better Compass lets you set your compass wherever you want!
1.12.2/1.13.2 - requires FORGE
1.14 - requires FABRIC
Simply right click with a normal compass to set it's position. By default compass will face towards the world spawn as usual.
If you would prefer a new item rather than overwriting the vanilla compass, there's a config option to enable the "Homing Compass" item.
You can simply put your compass in a crafting bench to clear the link.
Configuration
showCustomLocationText - Default True - Should the "Custom Location" text appear on the compass tooltip?
showLocationInfoText - Default False - Should the compass' linked location show on the tooltip?
allowCompassInAllDimensions - Default False - Should the compass work in all dimensions? In vanilla, the compass only works in the overworld.
compassActivateType - Default RIGHT_CLICK - When should the compass activate?
RIGHT_CLICK - When right clicking a block
SNEAK - When sneaking and right clicking a block
REQUIRE_EMPTY - When right clicking a block with an unlinked compass
Use Homing Compass Instead - Default False - Should a separate item be created rather than overwriting the vanilla compass item.
For limitation and issues, check out the Q&A below.
If you find a bug or crash, please leave a detailed issue in the issue tracker on github
Q&A:
Does this work in the Nether/End/Other Dimensions?
Not by default, but there's a config option to turn this on.
Why doesn't it work in Item frames?
Vanilla doesn't either
Does this work client/server sided only?
No, the mod must be installed both on the client and server for it to work
Does this work with other mods that use/mess with the compass?
It should, let me know if it doesn't
Does this work with Texture/Resource/Data packs?
Yes!

any chance of updating this to 1.16.4?
can i use it in players or mobs
It says you are down for commissions, how much would it cost to port it to 1.14/1.15 on forge?
I mostly need a compass that points to the nearest nether portal, this is the closest thing I could find.
PS, I am serious, name the price.
I CANT USE SNEAK RIGHT_CLICK WITH COMPASS ANY SOLUTION?
BN: I M USING MINECRAFT FORGE 1.14.4
this is cool :)
i wish this was a feature in vanilla
In reply to thebebist:
do you like the new snapshot ;)
In reply to m_suffiannuddin:
yes indeed :)
Could you make a 1.14 forge version? Forge is available for 1.14. I'm looking for a mod like this so long!
Where's the 1.14 file? It's not listed.
Please update, Crashes on MC 1.14.3 Pre 2
(fabric-loader-0.4.8+build.155-1.14.3-pre2+build.3)
Where can I download Forge for version 1.13.2?
In reply to srbedrock:
Congrats on being the first Forge 1.13.2 mod!
In reply to wozat:
Probably the first 1.14 mod too.
lets say I died and lost the original compass that pointed to a spot I told him to point,
If I will craft a new compass, will it point to that direction the former one pointed?
This mod is exciting.Can I post this mod to a Chinese Minecraft forum-MCBBS(https://www.mcbbs.net)??
Can you add an ability to title your custom waypoint? Maybe do as 00ff00 suggests and make them dyeable?
An idea for the next update(s): Dyable compasses, to better differentiate them when you have multiple.
is there a way to set it to a living entity like a player or mob and if not would you consider implementing it
