    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.

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

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

    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.
