A '''recovery compass''' is an [[Minecraft:item]] that can be held by a [[Minecraft:player]] who has [[Minecraft:died]] to point to where their most recent death occurred, as long as they are in the same [[Minecraft:dimension]]. If these conditions are not met, it will spin in random directions.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A1= Echo Shard |B1= Echo Shard |C1= Echo Shard
|A2= Echo Shard |B2= Compass |C2= Echo Shard
|A3= Echo Shard |B3= Echo Shard |C3= Echo Shard
|Output= Recovery Compass
|type= Utility
}}

== Usage ==
When held by a player, the recovery compass points toward the location where the player last died.

The recovery compass works only when it is held by a player who has previously died and is in the same dimension as their last death. Otherwise, it spins around randomly.

Like other items, the recovery compass itself still drops when a player dies if the <code>keepInventory</code> [[Minecraft:game rule]] is not enabled.

This item is useless on [[Minecraft:Hardcore]] mode, where the player cannot respawn.

The location the recovery compass points to is stored as the player's {{cd|LastDeathLocation}} NBT tag, and can be accessed with the {{cmd|data get entity @s LastDeathLocation}} command if cheats are enabled.

As with the normal compass, it also points toward the position of last death when viewed in the [[Minecraft:crafting table]] preview menu, even without being crafted.{{Only|Bedrock}} The direction of the needle is relative to the player viewing it.

=== Enchantments ===

== Trivia ==
*The recovery compass is the only item which, {{in|java}}, can neither be used in the world{{note|In this context, "used in the world" means the item can be placed down as a block, has special functionality when {{control|used}} in any game mode, or has special functionality when in entity form.}} nor used as an input for crafting, smelting, enchanting or other GUI-based activities. In other words, it is the only item whose unique functionality derives solely from its texture. ([[Minecraft:Clock]]s are similar, but attract piglins when in entity form.) This makes it useful as a "dummy item" in commands, as a renamed and retextured recovery compass does not inherit any of the gameplay properties of a regular recovery compass.

We're hoping it improves how rewarding it feels to obtain Ancient City loot. Despite that, how do you feel about it? Will you use it? If so, how? What situations would you use it instead of just trying to remember?|April 6, 2022}}</ref>
