Description

🧭 Mega Compass

Stop searching blind and track Mega Showdown structures directly.

Mega Compass adds specialized compasses that point to key CobblemonMegaShowdown structures using an async search system with a brand new dynamic 3D rendering system and live HUD feedback.


  • 3D Rendering: True 3D compass needles with mathematical rotation.
  • Turns random exploration into targeted structure hunts.
  • Reduces wasted digging and travel time.
  • Adds multiple compass variants for different goals.
  • Keeps performance stable with async search workers.
  • Multiplayer Ready: Isolated search tracking for every player.

⚡ Quick Start

  1. Craft one of the Mega Compass variants.
  2. Right-click to start search.
  3. Follow the needle and HUD distance.
  4. Shift + right-click to reset tracking.

🎯 Main Features

  • 3D Dynamic Models: Modern rendering system for realistic needle rotation.
