Real Compass

compass (n) A mechanical or electronic instrument used for navigation or orienteering, which points to the physical or magnetic north pole.

This is a fork of compassgps (and compass), with 90% of the code removed.

Features

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.

The only other change that I made was, that since compasses are typically divided up in 1/4th, 1/8th, and 1/16th divisions, I updated it to point in 16 directions rather than the original 12.

I've converted the better looking ccompass textures to 16 directions and placed them in the textures_alt directory for testing.

To use them, rename the "textures_alt" directory to "textures".

Crafting guide

Same crafting recipe as the other compass versions, so it's probably not compatible with them.

Thanks

This mod is basically compassgps with 90% of its code ripped out, so I can't take much credit. That belongs to Echo, PilzAdams, TeTpaAka, and Kilarin. I was just standing on their shoulders.
