{{control|Using}} 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.

Lodestones cannot be pushed by [[Minecraft:piston]]s. They also cannot be pushed nor pulled by [[Minecraft:sticky piston]]s. It is one of the few blocks with that property that can be destroyed by explosions.

Template:Infobox block

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, shulker box, item frame, armor stand, or any other 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 nor pulled by sticky pistons. It is one of the few blocks with that property that can be destroyed by explosions.
