Template:For Template:Infobox item

A recovery compass is an Minecraft:item that can be held by a player who has 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.

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 keepInventory game rule is not enabled.

This item is useless on Hardcore mode, where the player cannot respawn.

The location the recovery compass points to is stored as the player's Template:Cd NBT tag, and can be accessed with the Template:Cmd command if cheats are enabled.

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

Trivia

  • The recovery compass is the only item which, Template:In, can neither be used in the worldTemplate:Note 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:Clocks 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.
