How do I install OmniCompass?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does OmniCompass work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.1. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

OmniCompass

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Structure Compass selection screen

🧭 For Players

OmniCompass adds compasses capable of tracking any biome or structure!

By default, there are 2 compasses:

Biome Compass, which can track any biome, crafted from a compass and 4 planks
Structure Compass, capable of tracking any structure, made from a compass and 4 bricks

Both compasses can be disabled in the config!

To use a compass, simply right-click while holding it. This will open a menu, allowing you to select a target.

✨ For Modpack Creators

OmniCompass comes with extensive data pack support, which allows you to easily add your own compasses or edit and remove the default ones. This includes:

The ability to add multiple compasses
Compass target selection (biome, structure, or all biomes/structures)
Limiting compass targets based on advancements
Custom compass renderer (only a single base texture is needed, needle and its shadow are tinted)

Full documentation is available on the wiki.

If the existing system doesn’t support your use case, make sure to open an issue on Github or to join the Discord and share your suggestions!
