🧭 Looter's Compass
This mod makes it much easier to find loot containers created by the Lootr modification. Now you'll never miss valuable finds nearby!
What's New in This Mod?
The mod introduces a special item called Looter's Compass. This compass points to the nearest loot containers from the Lootr mod that haven't been opened yet by the player.
By default, the compass scans an area within a 64-block radius horizontally and 16 blocks vertically (these parameters can be changed in settings). It works with all types of Lootr containers: chests, barrels, shulker boxes, minecarts with chests, and others.
If there are no unopened containers nearby, the compass will show a waiting animation. Container searching happens on the client side, which completely eliminates any negative impact on server performance.

Tips for Modpack Creators
To encourage world exploration in the early stages of the game, it's recommended to disable the Looter's Compass crafting recipe through configuration settings or using tools like KubeJS. You can then add a quest that rewards the player with the compass after obtaining the "Centennial" achievement from Lootr (which requires opening 100 containers), or simply enable the corresponding option in settings for automatic compass distribution when this achievement is obtained.
