how do you make compass in minecraft
With a world that seems endless, Minecraft has few options to guide our path. Sometimes, it can even be impossible to find your home in Minecraft.
But luckily, you only need to learn how to make a compass in Minecraft to solve most such problems. It works the same way on all Minecraft Java and Bedrock versions.
We have covered not only its crafting recipe, but also how to make compass points at specific locations in the game. All you have to do is build a house in Minecraft beforehand and claim a bed so that it’s compass points towards you. With that said, let’s not waste time and learn how to make a compass in Minecraft.
How do you create a compass in Minecraft?

- Move the Compass from the Crafting Table to Your Inventory
There you have it, you very compass! From now on, if you ever get lost, you can use the compass to take you back home. If you don’t know how it works, let me explain. The needle is always going to go back to your spawn point, where you will go when you die.
So if you just started a game, it’s going to point to some random location, but once you’ve made a bed and slept in it, that’s going to be your new spawn point. So if you get lost, your compass will point you back to your bed, which is inside your house!
