Compass Cleaner

🧭 Compass Cleaner

✨ What It Does

Tired of magnetized or renamed compasses cluttering your inventory once they're no longer needed?
Compass Cleaner is a tiny but handy mod that lets you fully reset compasses via a simple shapeless crafting recipe — removing any lodestone binding, custom name, or other NBT data:

Input:  [Magnetized Compass]  
Output: [Clean Compass]

No paper, no tools, no extra steps — just drop it into the crafting grid and it's reset to a normal compass.

🧩 Why Use It?

• ✅ No more confusion between active and obsolete compasses
• ✅ Minimalist — no new items, no GUI, no configs
• ✅ Vanilla-friendly design and recipe
• ✅ Client/server compatible
• ✅ Ideal for mods using magnetized compasses (e.g., for teleportation, loot tracking, dimension anchors, etc.)
