When you respawn, you are given a recovery compass which helps you find where you last died easier.

I made this for 1.21.10 because i can't find any similar datapacks that worked.

you can change the pack format if you want to use it on older 1.21 versions

TO ACTIVATE

when in-game after you've already put the datapack into your world's datapacks folder

1. do /function compass_respawn:setup

2. then do /function compass_respawn:update

and now you are all set.
