This datapack+resourcepack combo allows compasses to appear differently depending on the dimension they are targeting when locating a lodestone.
Requires a resourcepack
With this resourcepack it becomes really easy to differentiate between compasses, and removes the confusion of trying a compass intended for somewhere else! This combined with the recent changes to lodestones, makes compass your perfect tool for early game finding your base, or portal back home!
To update the compass, hold it in your hand!
Thanks for trying my datapack!
