Hello all! i am relatively new to the forums, but i have been creeping around for quite sssome time! I have noticed the gradual progression of placeable 'magnet blocks' that attract your compass for if you built your house away from your spawn.
I came up with a new idea during my SSP game, and I am proposing that whatever type of material you make the compass out of, it will be attracted to that type of cube. ie the current compass is set up with redstone in the middle and iron ingots at each cardinal point, like so,
X X Redstone
X X
I propose that if you make a diamond/gold/lapus lazuli compass it will only be attracted to a cube of 9 (ie diamond cube) ie
X Diamond X
Diamond Redstone Diamond
X Diamond X
would be attracted to a cube created by
Diamond Diamond Diamond
Diamond Diamond Diamond
Diamond Diamond Diamond
I like this. Then I could have a compass that directs me home instead of spawn, if I didn't make it in the same place. Or to the entrance of my dungeon. Or many other possibilities.
A diamond compass? Ehhhh, not a very good idea in my opinion. Maybe a dowsing machine or a orometer that points at any ore (including coal and redstone) so you have to dig them up first before pinpointing them, but one made specifically to point at diamonds would be very iffy and overpowered.
