Find out all you need to know about how to use the Ender Compass on Bedrock Edition!

Updated over 5 months ago

In the Minecraft Club, the Ender Compass is the main point of navigation across the club. It lets you go to other rooms, find & join breakouts, friend players, create private breakouts and use room specific features such as managing your land on Survival. It's a core aspect of the Minecraft Club and therefore it's important that your child knows how to use it!

Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is available on Windows 10 and 11, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, Android (phone/tablet), iOS (phone/tablet) and Windows Mobile. If you have any of these devices or operating systems, you'll be able to use the Bedrock Ender Compass!

❗ The Ender Compass works differently on Bedrock Edition than it does on Java Edition. If you play on Java, read this guide instead.
