Compass

[Snutteplutt]

Don't know if it has been discussed before but I did not find a thread on it. If it has been discussed, please remove/lock/cover with dirt

I'd love to have the opportunity to craft me a compass, helping me understand what way my character is actually facing when looking at the map.

Pointed player marker would do it.

It has been mentioned multiple times, but the first time here, and I don't think anyone expects a person to search the entire internet for a single idea for an as of yet unpublished game.

I think several people have said that they aren't so worried about a compass showing NSEW (why isn't is SEWN?) but would like to have a pointer back to their homestead. I am one of them. I have the minimap for cardinal directions. It's pretty easy to get lost out wandering, though, and no amount of boy scout orienteering is going to get you back home if you don't know where home is at. Guess that means we want in game maps, too?

boshaw's alpha client had a pretty cool compass but it showed the way the camera was facing iirc. ender and apx may be able to implement something similar.

I was thinking APX had a marker you could set in the client when you left your homestead so you could come back to it, I don't think it was persistent through session changes (player teleported for some reason, enter/exit a building, or log out and back in).

One of them was me:)
Skill that I can turn off and on when I want, like swimming or tracking. When it is turned on it pointing to my home.
