Cheaper Compasses Data Pack (1.21.3, 1.20.1) – Craft Compasses with Less Iron
Cheaper Compasses Data Pack modifies the compass crafting recipe, reducing the number of iron ingots required. Perfect for players who want easier access to navigation tools, especially in resource-scarce worlds or early gameplay stages. Simplify your journeys with this cost-effective adjustment! Enjoy playing this data pack!
Features:
- Minecraft uses six iron ingots to craft three doors, yet it takes four ingots and redstone dust to create one compass. This makes no sense.
- So, this data pack updates the compass recipe to use three iron nuggets, one iron ingot and redstone dust.
