 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'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 also gone back to using the original 12 pointing directions to make the animations look cleaner.

-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.
