This Minecraft tutorial explains How to Make A Compass in Minecraft with detailed screenshots and step-by-step instructed process.
When playing Minecraft it can happen quite easily to go a long way! The world is huge and the adventures that can be experienced are endless: you can set out to explore, fight, collect resources or be attracted to a beautiful distant and deserted island. As it will certainly have happened to you, it is very easy to get lost and no longer know how to orient yourself. Even in this case, however, Minecraft comes to our rescue to make us find the right path! The tool that was designed for this purpose is the compass. In fact, with the compass you can find the spawn point in which you were dropped at the beginning of the game in the world creation phase. Fantastic isn’t it? Its operation is quite simple: as with real world compasses, you will see the compass indicated in the hotbar with a small arrow pointing towards the spawn point. Just follow it patiently and you will find your way back!
