Locator Compass
Changes the Locator Bar to only show up when holding a Compass, leaving the regular XP bar the rest of the time!

Minecraft 1.21.6 added the Locator Bar, a new bar that appears instead of the XP progress bar that indicates where players are in the world.
However, this has the disadvantage of hiding your current progression to the next level when not actively collecting experience points.
Locator Compass fixes this common complaint, by instead making the Locator Bar only appear when holding a compass, rather than all the time.
This also gives the compass another purpose, making it a more helpful item!
