Features

• Sneak + right click with the Structures' Compass in hand to open the searching GUI.
  • search structure's name directly
  • search structure's source by starting with '@'
  • search structure's available dimensions by starting with '#'
• Right click to search the selected structure again.
• When the compass is not pointing at a structure, or the structure is in another dimension, it will point at random position, just like the normal compass in the Nether or the End.
• The compass supports all registered structures (vanilla and modded).

Recipe

4 of any dead coral at 4 corners, 4 of mossy stone bricks at 4 edges and 1 compass at the center

We think the compass is too op, so we increase the crafting difficulty to balance it.

v1.1.0: Now you can change the config to use iron bars instead of dead corals (deprecated in v1.2.0 because of bug #8)

Further Development

We're too busy to develop, so we just list some possibilities

• Port to older version like 1.12.2
• Port to Fabric

Structures and dimensions don't have localized names by default. If you see something like structure.<modid>.<name> in the GUI or HUD, that essentially means there is not localized name for it. If you would like to add translations, create corresponding JSON files under resources/assets/<modid>/lang/ and send Pull Requests to us. We've put zh_cn translations of structures and dimensions in vanilla Minecraft there as a template, and your translations should also follow the same style.
