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.
Whenever I try to use the compass, none of the markers show up. Why is that?

Never mind, I fixed it. It was just some Optifine shader issues.
What is the purple one mean?
Hello. I've tried modifying the config file by:
1. Moving the gold pointer from the "Working Man's Minables" mode to the "Shiny Stones" mode.
2. Changing the iron pointer color.
3. Adding a Spawner pointer to each mode.
Yet in-game, these changes are not applied at all. I mean, the compass still works as originally created, and the config file doesn't change that. Am I supposed to make the mod 'reload' the config file somehow?
You got further than me as when I saved a config update and tried to relaunch it the game would not load
In reply to The_Knight_Radiant:
Actually, maybe you're further? I mean, your edited config file actually had an effect on your game. Are you sure you followed the format of the file when you edited it?
In reply to minortime:
Yeah, I even kept everything the same but just changed the block if for the iron iron to spawner id mob_spawner just to see if it would work but game would not load
In reply to The_Knight_Radiant:Are you sure it's "mob_spawner"? When I tried summoning a mob_spawner block in creative mode, it didn't work, so I had to use "spawner" instead.
In reply to minortime:
I just googled mob spawner ID and went to this site https://minecraftitemids.com/types/spawner
In reply to minortime:
I used https://minecraftitemids.com/types/spawner to get the name but just checked https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Spawner#Data_values and it show spawner is the block ID and Mob_Spawner is the entity ID didnt know it would have two options I tried it again with spawner and got the same error failed at common set up.
In reply to The_Knight_Radiant:
Dang. I don't know then. I guess we have to wait for the creator. Sorry I couldn't help out.
Edit: I somehow got it to work! All I did was update both the mod and Forge to the latest 1.14.4 version and create a new world. I think creating a new world is what's really necessary to get the mod to apply changes made to its config file.
Thank you for the quick response with help. I deleted the old config as you suggested and it worked no problem though I cant edit the config to have get mob spawners on the compass or create custom sets is this a new intended feature or bug?
In reply to The_Knight_Radiant:
Same here, works fine for me but fails if I edit the new .cfg Likely we're just making a mistake when editing that we don't know about. I'm sure he will explain it to us when he gets a chance. :)

Running into an error, the mod wont load. I think it's not compatible with the new version of forge. Loaded it on its own and it still crashed.
In reply to Skullriot:
It now loads but the only pointers i can get to work are iron and gold. The readme appears to be missing from the cfg file so I am not sure if I need to modify anything or be in a certain area to get the compass to work. The values in the config file are not commented so I can't tell what they are all for.
Hi! First of all - I love your mods, and FinderCompass in particular.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with it's version for 1.14.3 on Linux. I've created an issue on github: https://github.com/AtomicStryker/atomicstrykers-minecraft-mods/issues/275
Thanks!!
In reply to cosmic_crafter:
Thanks! It works now.
Hello i came bact to playing MC after few years andi cant get arount that new format of config file :(
I tryed to add search for spawners but if i got into game it didnt work or i messed up config so i didnt get to game at all and had to delete config.Any help please?
So I've used this mod in previous versions and haven't been in Minecraft in quite a bit. What does the modding landscape look like nowadays? Have they made it really difficult to mod now? Will this mod be updated for 1.14.3?
