Minecraft:Lodestone: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:09, 9 June 2026

A lodestone is a Minecraft:block that can be used to alter Minecraft:compasses to point toward it.

Obtaining

Breaking

Lodestones require a Minecraft:pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself. If mined without a pickaxe, then the mining is slower and it drops nothing.

Usage

Lodestone Compass

Template:Control a Minecraft:compass on a lodestone causes the compass to point to the lodestone, indicated by an enchantment glint effect on the compass. This works even in Minecraft:the End and Minecraft:the Nether. If the lodestone is broken, or in a different dimension, then the compass spins randomly, as ordinary compasses in the End and Nether do. If the lodestone is destroyed while a paired compass is in a Minecraft:chest, Minecraft:shulker box, Minecraft:item frame, Minecraft:armor stand, or any other [[Minecraft::Category:Storage|storage item]], the compass does not register that the lodestone is destroyed until the item is retrieved. Placing a lodestone back in the exact place as the original lodestone while the compass is still in a container prevents unpairing.

Piston interactivity

Lodestones cannot be pushed by Minecraft:pistons. They also cannot be pushed or pulled by Minecraft:sticky pistons. It is one of the few blocks with that property that can be destroyed by explosions.

Job site

Exclusively in Minecraft:25w14craftmine, a Minecraft:villager can claim a lodestone to take on the profession of a Minecraft:traitor, which trades Minecraft:mine ingredients.
