Biome Compass is a Bedrock addon by Pupy200mine that adds a compass for finding biomes. It works as a biome locator addon for the Overworld, the Nether and the End, and it is Bedrock only. Java players should look at the mod that inspired it, Nature's Compass.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.21.114.
What it adds
The Biome Compass opens a simple search interface. You pick the biome you want, and the compass guides you toward it.
The list covers every vanilla biome across all three dimensions. Custom biomes are a gap. The creator is not sure the compass works with them, so do not count on it in a heavily modded world.
Crafting the compass
- 4 logs, any type
- 4 saplings, any type
- 1 regular compass
The recipe is cheap, so the compass is available early. It needs no extra pack or library.
Installation and play modes
Open the addon file with Bedrock to import it, then switch the packs on in your world's settings under Behavior Packs and Resource Packs. The guide on installing add-ons on Bedrock walks through each step, and fixing add-ons that won't load covers the usual failures.
Questions about Biome Compass.
4 questions
How do I install Biome Compass on Bedrock?
Open the addon file with Bedrock so it imports, then create or edit a world and activate the behavior and resource packs in its settings. Load the world and craft the compass. The linked install guide covers each step if the import fails.
Does Biome Compass work on Realms?
The creator says add-ons do not work very well on Realms. Expect problems if you try it on a Realm.
Which biomes can the Biome Compass find?
It includes all vanilla biomes in the Overworld, the Nether and the End. The creator is unsure whether it works with custom biomes added by other addons, so treat that as unsupported.
How do I craft the Biome Compass?
Combine 4 logs, 4 saplings and a regular compass in the crafting grid. Any type of log and any type of sapling is accepted, so the recipe is easy to fill early in a new world.
