actually I do know a good way. Drop a cobblestone. There is a distinct "L" on it. I believe to the left of the "L" is west. You can confirm this by youtubing it. This also works for dropped netherrack. Its legit, just try it. once you see the "L" you will always see it.
Using the default texture pack, dirt only has a light pixel on one of the four sides.
That side points west
Have fun with your underground compass.

Sounds good, but the problem is that I am using a custom texture pack.
I always hollow out my tunnels in a south north direction. Then I put up a sign for the North direction. For caves though, yeah I use the cobblestone method.
*edit* Edit the cobblestone texture so it contains a subtle way to tell direction. Or not so subtle, HAHA, it would be funny to have a cobblestone texture that is a compass rose.

Then you'll have to find some easy-to-recognize details on your custom textures that would indicate a direction.
Or just drop a lava spring between 4 cobbles, like this:

and touch each of the inside corners. When you get on fire, you've found the south-west.
Thanks! That is perfect because I am making boat elevators!
