Disposable Compass
Turn Nature's Compass and Explorer's Compass into one-destination navigation items.
Disposable Compass makes the two compass mods behave more like filled maps: once a compass is assigned to its first target, that same item keeps that destination and cannot be reused to pick a different biome or structure.
What it does
- Locks a Nature's Compass after the first biome is selected.
- Locks an Explorer's Compass after the first structure or structure group is selected.
- Blocks reopening the selection screen on locked compasses.
- Changes shift-right-click on locked compasses from reset into “search next”.
- Keeps the selected biome or structure type fixed while allowing the item to find the next matching location.
This is useful for exploration-focused packs where biome and structure compasses should be committed navigation items instead of reusable global search tools.
