Features
The Dynamical Compass can be set to a destination position by shift (sneaking) right-clicking on a block.
It only shows in the direction of the destination position, when you're in the dimension, in which you have set the destination position.
If you're not in the destination dimension or the compass has no destination set, it spins like the vanilla compass in the nether or the end.
You can lock the Dynamical Compass with a glass pane, so the destination can not be changed.
Warning:
- You can't unlock the Dynamical Compass again.
- Even a Compass without a destination can be locked.
