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.

Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Generated loot

Script error: No such module "lootChest".

Usage

Lodestone Compass

{{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}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, 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.
