Compass](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/kvnmtz\/looters-compass\/refs\/heads\/main\/docs\/looters_compass.webp)<\/p>\n<p>This mod adds a new item called the **Looter&#8217;s Compass**.<br \/>\nIt points to the nearest **loot containers** from the Lootr mod, which has **not yet been opened** by the player.<br \/>\nIt has a maximum search radius of 32 blocks horizontally and 16 blocks vertically by default (configurable).<br \/>\nIt works with any kind of Lootr&#8217;s loot containers (chests, barrels, shulker boxes, chest minecarts &#8230;).<br \/>\nWhen right-clicking with the Looter&#8217;s Compass in the player&#8217;s hands, the currently targeted loot container will be **highlighted** (like the Glowing effect does it) for a few seconds.<br \/>\nIf no container is found, an idle animation will be shown.<br \/>\nSearching for the loot containers happens on the client-side, which means that server performance will not be hurt in any way.<\/p>\n<p>This is what it looks like ingame:<\/p>\n<p>![Gameplay Footage](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/kvnmtz\/looters-compass\/refs\/heads\/main\/docs\/gameplay.webp)<\/p>\n<p>## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration<\/p>\n<p>###

makers<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s a good idea to incentivize exploration in the early game by disabling the crafting recipe for the Looter&#8217;s Compass using the config option or something like KubeJS.<br \/>\nYou could then include a quest which rewards the compass when the player gets the &#8220;Centennial&#8221; achievement from Lootr (which requires the player to open 100 loot containers first), or just enable the config option that automatically rewards the compass when this advancement is made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adds a compass that points to the
