How to Use a Compass in Minecraft APK

In Minecraft, a compass always points toward your world’s original spawn point. That means, no matter where you are, it helps guide you back to where you first started the game. It doesn’t point to your bed, house, or latest base — only the original spawn. So if you haven’t set a base there, maybe it’s time to do that.

  • You go out mining or exploring
  • You’re deep in the forest or cave
  • You lose track of where you came from
