Description
Recovery Compass is crafted from a regular compass surrounded by eight echo shards, resources found in ancient city loot. Instead of pointing to world spawn, it tracks the last death location of the player holding it. If the player has not died, or is in a different dimension than the death point, the needle spins without a stable target.
The item is designed for dangerous expeditions where losing equipment is the real punishment. It helps recover gear after cave accidents, ancient city failures, End falls, or Nether mistakes, provided the player can return before despawn timers matter. Because echo shards are rare, many players keep one at base rather than carrying it into risky fights.
