Universal Compass (ไธ‡็•Œ็ฝ—็›˜)

A single compass mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 that locates biomes, structures, and mobs โ€” all from one item, one GUI.

Features

  • Three search modes in one item: biome, structure, and mob.
  • Biome search: coarse noise sampling (aligned with Nature's Compass: 64-block step, hard-capped samples, zero chunk loading, off-thread) โ€” finds most biomes in 1โ€“2s without freezing.
  • Structure search: chunk-spiral checkStructurePresence spread across server ticks (~8ms/tick budget) so the main thread never freezes; uses placement-aware candidate search (same as /locate) for RandomSpread structures.
  • Mob search: locates mobs within already-loaded chunks (an honest "loaded-range" search, not full-world).
  • HUD pointer + progress: shows direction and a live search-progress percentage.
  • Known-target cache: remembers found targets across game sessions.
  • Zero hard dependencies: works standalone; optionally accelerates when BiomeSpy is present (auto-detected, routes to findClosestBiome3d).

Usage

Right-click the compass to open the GUI. Pick a mode tab, choose a target from the list, and the compass points toward it.

Compatibility

  • Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 (Forge 47+).
  • Optional: BiomeSpy (server-side) for faster biome/structure lookup.
