 A Lodestone compass can be made from an ordinary compass by using it on a lodestone.  After becoming a lodestone compass, it always points to its linked lodestone, provided that they are in the same dimension.  If not in the same dimension, the lodestone compass spins randomly, similarly to a regular compass when outside the overworld.  A lodestone compass can be relinked with another lodestone.=Ein Leitstein Kompass kann mit einem normalen Kompass erstellt werden indem man ihn auf einem Leitstein benutzt. Nachdem er ein Leitstein Kompass geworden ist, wird er immer zu seinem Leitstein zeigen, sofern sie in der selben Dimension sind. Wenn sie nicht in der selben Dimension sind, dreht sich der Leitstein Kompass zufällig, wie ein normaler Kompass außerhalb der Oberwelt. Ein Leitstein Kompass kann mit einem anderem Leitstein verknüpft werden.
