    What's the point of having a compass?

    It directs you to your spawn point. If you've set up home at your spawn point, or set your spawn point to home, it will take you home.

    I put the 8 pieces of paper and compass on the crafting table, but it's not showing that it made a map. Anyone know why this might happen?

    The compass needs to go in the very middle, and the paper has to surround it.

    Do I need a diamond hoe to do this? When I put paper and compass in, it doesn't show map.

    Are you sure you put the compass in the middle and 8 pieces of paper around it, using a crafting table?

    The compass will spin wildly in many directions if you try it in the Nether or End.

  • Question
    Can a compass track anything other than your spawn?

    If you place a lodestone and use a compass on it, the compass will then point towards the lodestone instead of the spawn.

    Why do you need one?

    You don't need a compass, but it can be helpful to have one in case you get lost and need to find your way back to spawn or a lodestone.
