 Features
 --------
-It's only feature is to act like a real compass and always point to the north.
+This mod tries to address what the "real" essence of being a compass is all about.
+
+No options, no gui's, just an animated needle that points toward the north.
+
+I'm now using compass textures derived from the wonderful ones created by tacotexmex for ccompass.
+I changed the colors and crafting recipe so that it can hopefully be used in parallel with ccompass,
+since they both provide different features.
+
+I have returned to using 16 pointing directions. *(I started with tacotexmex's 16-direction update for ccompass, but I changed the colors and slightly shortened most of the compass needles.)*
+
+**New:** I have updated this mod to work with the craftguide mod. *(Thanks to feedback from FreeGamers.)*

 Crafting guide
 --------------
+**New:** Reduced cost of recipe by replacing mese\_fragment with glass.
