A Minecraft Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds a craftable compass capable of locating any biome in your world. Point it, tune your search range, lock onto a target, and navigate - all from a clean in-game UI.
Server-friendly! An optimised algorithm to retain TPS.
Biome selection UI
Adjustable search range - tune the scan radius from 100m up to 10,000m.
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Left Click | Increase search range (+200 m) |
| Right Click | Decrease search range (−200 m) |
| Shift + Left Click | Toggle lock / unlock |
| Shift + Right Click | Open biome selector menu |
All controls work from both the main hand and the offhand.
Press Shift + Right Click to open the biome selector. The left panel lists every biome loaded in your world, sorted alphabetically and scrollable with the mouse wheel. Click any entry to immediately begin searching for it. Selecting a new biome always unlocks the compass so the search can run freely.
Once a biome is selected the compass scans outward from your position in rings, checking blocks in steps of around 32m. The scan is incremental - only a small slice of work happens each tick - so it stays smooth even at the 10,000 m maximum range.
IMPORTANT Don't forget to LOCK your compass when you get a trail to your biome.
TRACKING (actively pointing) or LOCKED (frozen on the last found position)Press Shift + Left Click to lock the compass. When locked:
Press Shift + Left Click again to unlock and resume live tracking.
The range defines the annular band the compass searches within - a minimum and maximum radius around you. This lets you skip nearby biomes you have already visited and hunt for ones further away.
The range is shown in the action bar and in the item tooltip so you always know what window is active.
Sound effects are tied to the Player source.
