PoleCompass

PoleCompass is a simple plugin, where you can modify your compass to the max! PoleCompass is my first plugin, and it is also my first Java project(The succes in Java lies in that I do C# for a while).

Features & Commands

Polecompass can do at the moment these things:

  • /compass <direction> - Sets your compass target to a the North, East, South or West(Those are the valid arguments for direction);
  • /compass pos <x> <y> <z> - Sets your compass target to a specific coordinate;
  • /compass pos current - Sets your compass target to your current location.
  • /compass bed - Sets your compass to your bed
  • /compass follow <player> - Sets your compass target to a player's location, and keep folowing him!
  • /compass about- shows the info about PoleCompass
  • /compass help - views help page
  • /setplayercompass <player> <direction> - Points the player's compass to the specified direction. Valid directions: north, east, south, west. (PoleCompass.setplayercompass)
  • /setplayercompass <player> pos <current> | <x> <y> <z> - Points the player's compass to the specified position, or the player's current position if you specify current instead.(PoleCompass.setplayercompass.pos)
  • /setplayercompass <player> follow <player to follow> - Make someones compass point and follow to a player.(PoleCompass.setplayercompass) Use /compass [reset] to reset your compass.

Tip: You can short arguments! for example, instead /compass north, you can use /compass n!

    Dear Vestle,

    I cannot explain to you how it feels having to spend 3 releases on the same bug.
    All those releases, except the last one, were done very hastily, because I thought "oh no there's a bug quickly I need to fix this" and then do it so quickly that you don't actually fix it because you overlook some things.

    I feel really sorry. I've learned a lot from this experience.

    The fix's up now. The file should be approved soon. I've also added /compass bed, so when your use /compass reset it points to the world spawn location and not your bed's when you have one.

    Have fun

    Still not reseting - players complain stuck on direction they originally set and cannot change it now.

    1 minor issue here;

    /compass reset gives "An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command".

    Other than that, this is completely awesome. I love it. Saves to much time helping those who seem to always get themselves lost.

    I love this Mod, and use in on Rangerpost. It is a great exploration tool and is a must have for new and old MC players alike. Simple to use, and great to finally make the compass a useful tool!

    Well worth a download and the expenditure of the iron and redstone. never have to tell someone where you are ever again, they can just track you and find you them selves, lol
