Description

🧭 Compass Cleaner

✨ What It Does

Tired of magnetized or renamed compasses cluttering your inventory once they're no longer needed?
Compass Cleaner is a tiny but handy mod that lets you fully reset compasses via a simple shapeless crafting recipe β€” removing any lodestone binding, custom name, or other NBT data:

Input:  [Magnetized Compass]  
Output: [Clean Compass]

No paper, no tools, no extra steps β€” just drop it into the crafting grid and it's reset to a normal compass.


🧩 Why Use It?

  • βœ… No more confusion between active and obsolete compasses
  • βœ… Minimalist β€” no new items, no GUI, no configs
  • βœ… Vanilla-friendly design and recipe
  • βœ… Client/server compatible
  • βœ… Ideal for mods using magnetized compasses (e.g., for teleportation, loot tracking, dimension anchors, etc.)
