Lodestone anchors a compass to one location, even outside the Overworld, using netherite and chiseled stone.

Description
Lodestone is crafted from one netherite ingot surrounded by eight chiseled stone bricks, making it one of the most expensive utility blocks in survival. Once placed, a compass can be used on it to create a linked compass. That item points back to the block's position instead of the world spawn, and the link works in the Nether and End where ordinary compasses normally spin.
The block is useful for megabases, nether hubs, end islands, raid farms, and any remote project where coordinates are inconvenient to remember. If the anchor is broken, the linked compass stops working and spins randomly, so protected placement matters. Builders often hide it inside navigation rooms or portal halls, combining practical wayfinding with a strong metallic stone texture.
