🌲 1. Crafting the Nature’s Compass

The compass is easy to craft and available early game.

Recipe

You’ll need:

• 1 Compass
• 4 Logs
• 4 Saplings

Crafting it gives you the Nature’s Compass, which acts as a biome locator.

🔍 2. Using Nature’s Compass

Right-click the compass to open its interface.

You’ll see a full list of every biome that exists in your modpack/world, including:

• Vanilla biomes
• Modded biomes
• Dimension-specific biomes

The search menu gives you several ways to filter biomes:

Sorting Options

• Sort by Name – alphabetical
• Sort by Source – vanilla vs. modded biomes
• Sort by Tags – e.g. forest, mountain, jungle
• Sort by Dimension – Overworld, Nether, End, etc.
• Sort by Rainfall
• Sort by Temperature

These filters make it incredibly easy to locate exactly what you’re looking for.

🏜️ 3. Example Search — Finding Eroded Badlands

Say you want a very specific biome: Eroded Badlands.

1. Open the compass
2. Type eroded badlands in the search bar
3. Select the biome
4. Click Start Search

On the left side of your screen, you’ll see:

• A message showing the closest matching biome
• Exact coordinates
• The distance from your current position
• The dimension it’s located in

No more wandering thousands of blocks hoping to get lucky!

🚀 4. Teleporting (Creative Mode Only)

If you’re in Creative Mode, you can instantly teleport to the biome.

Just right-click the compass again and select Teleport.

In Survival, you cannot teleport—but you can still navigate there easily.

🗺️ 5. Survival Mode Navigation

In Survival, the compass still shows:

• The direction of the biome
• How far away it is
• Its exact coordinates

You can:

• Walk toward the direction indicator
• Set a waypoint using JourneyMap, Xaero’s Minimap, etc.
• Fly using an elytra or other modded flight option
