FAQ
Why does my compass spin randomly in the Nether/End?
Compasses only point to spawn in the Overworld. In other dimensions, bind it to a Lodestone by using the compass on the Lodestone.
What happens if the Lodestone is broken?
Bound compasses lose their target and spin until you bind them to another Lodestone.
