Lodestones are gatekept behind netherite in the base vanilla game, making it rather inaccessible to newer players, and the general early game, despite being a great navigational tool. This pack modifies the recipe to make it very accessible. A recipe unlock toast is also included when a related item is found/crafted.

Recipe Spoiler

The lodestone recipe unlock toast is given when a compass is found/crafted. The lodestone is crafted using a block of raw iron, surrounded by smooth stone.
