What this mod does:
Take your standard compass into your hand and USE it to swap between Settings. Each setting can feature different needles, pointing at awesome things like diamonds, Strongholds, the nearest Mob Spawner ...
If the server you are on has it enabled, it might be an Item you have to craft first. The recipe is a compass in middle, with diamonds at the sides (left, right, top, bottom).
I reserve the liberty of not responding to posts stating ("It crashes", "doesn't work") and so on unless you provide an error message or log. Read the auto-generated config file, it should be fairly obvious.
No 1.16.5? ðŸ˜
A little confused. My config file does not have much in it- no guidelines or explanations. Just this:

I really want to change the span of blocks searched, but I don't have a clue which values correspond to what. I see a lot of posts that say to clearly read the config- but there's nothing for me to read in mine?
Using 1.16.2
In reply to crown_hearted:
I'm not 100% sure, but here's how a typical entry goes:
"{\"block\":\"data_name_for_block\"}":[
red,
green,
blue,
radius_to_check,
distance_up_from_player,
distance_down_from_player,
y_value_begin,
y_value_end
]
The first three I'm 100% sure on; the next one 80% sure; the rest about 60%. What I think those last four are doing is checking the y value of the block in question: let's say those last four are "1, 1, -64, 0," the player is at -16y, and the block in question is at -17y, it will render the needle for it in the color described by the RGB values given because -17 is between -64y and 0y, and is between -1y and +1y of the player. Make sense?
In reply to TomD1969:
I just checked the source code. Here's the correct order:
[
red,
green,
blue,
xzSearchRange,
ySearchRange,
minY,
maxY,
SearchEvery15Sec
]
So I was a little off. Sorry about that. I knew I should have looked first.
1.12.2 please ! If no, I will be very sad and very depressed.
does the whole server need this mod or is it just client side?
1.12.2 please
Hello.
I want say something about the recent versions of the mod.
Did you know the arrow that leads to the ores?
I want it to be inside the compass, it will make mining easier.
Best sincerely.

This with Map Atlases make vanilla Minecraft items look ridiculous. Do you plan to do a version for Fabric? Thanks
can you make a version for 1.12.2 it will help a lot
Is it possible to use it without the server having it installed
In reply to thedarklord_123:
no
In reply to thedarklord_123:
thats not how mods work
In reply to thedarklord_123:
Both of the above answers are untrue... kind of.
Finder Compass is a hybrid between a client-side mod and a server-side mod. What that means, in this case, is that in order to use 100% of the features (such as finding structures), you will need to install it on the server. However, if you just use it in the MC client, you can still use it to find ores. I have used it successfully on a Realms server, for example (which cannot be modded at all), but it would only show me ores, not structures and features.
Nice mod, I will really like a fabric version.
Hmm your mod search gold, iron etc.. too in <0 height? I mean when somebody use datapack where height minecraft is for -64 to 320?
why did he not made a 1.12.2 version of it?
ps : i know there's a 1.12.1 version but it doesnt work
No, no i mean - i use your mod on another version and works with no problem for example searching gold. On your version 1.17 i can't see gold, diamond etc. wherever I put it on that lowest line of inventory. I DEFINITELY choose what I need, because I have used it many times before and it worked. It's just that for folk china it does not show anything - only a red standard needle ...
In reply to rocklee_pl:
Did you delete your config and let it re-generate? Do the setting switch chat messages show? See this post on the update https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/1272511-1-17-1-finder-compass-turns-the-vanilla-item-into?comment=1949
Hmmm maybe i make something wrong, but i have only standard red needle on compass. I mean i know that left right change options searching, but for example in nether i choose nether searching but doesn't appear on compass :( Plz try on your comp and tell me what i make wrong ;/ (1.17 forge)
