Lodestone

A lodestone is a block that can be used to alter the point where compasses lead. It can be used in all three dimensions.

Breaking
Lodestone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself. If mined without a pickaxe, then the mining is slower and it drops nothing.

Usage
Lodestones cannot be pushed by pistons; however, they can be destroyed by the ender dragon.

Lodestone Compass
a compass on a lodestone causes the compass to point to the lodestone, indicated by an enchantment glint effect on the compass. This works even in the End and the Nether. If the lodestone is broken, or in a different dimension than the compass, the compass will spin randomly, as ordinary compasses in the End and Nether do. If the lodestone is destroyed while a paired compass is in a chest, shulker box, barrel, furnace, blast furnace, smoker, item frame, armor stand, or any other storage item, the compass does not register that the lodestone is destroyed until the item is retrieved. Placing a lodestone back in the exact block as the original lodestone while the compass is still in a container prevents unpairing.
