What Can You Do With a Compass?
By default, your Compass will point to the world spawn point. You don’t have to equip it; keep an eye on the icon in your inventory. If you use a Compass on a Lodestone, it will point to the Lodestone instead. If you break the Lodestone, the Compass will no longer work. Use multiple Compasses with Lodestones to keep track of important landmarks. To activate a Lodestone, place it on the ground, equip the Compass, then use it on the Lodestone. How to use an item in Minecraft depends on your platform:
Windows 10 and Java Edition: Right-click and hold.Mobile: Tap and hold.PlayStation: Press and hold the L2 button.Xbox: Press and hold the LT button.Nintendo: Press and hold the ZL button.
