Minecraft Recovery Compass PNG
The Recovery Compass exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Tools” tab.

Sizes and quality
The Recovery Compass render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Open in the icon editorMinecraft recovery compass: get back to your items
The recovery compass points to where you last died. It is the perfect tool for getting back to your items before they despawn, especially if you died in a huge cave or far from home. It is crafted from a normal compass surrounded by eight echo shards, which you find in ancient city chests.
It only works under conditions. You must have died before and be in the same dimension as that death; if you died in the Nether and are in the Overworld, the needle just spins. And like any other item it drops when you die unless keepInventory is on, so it is worth leaving it in a chest at home or carrying a spare.
In Hardcore mode it is useless, since you cannot respawn after dying.
With cheats on you can read the exact position with /data get entity @s LastDeathLocation. It also has a technical quirk: in Java it is the only item that is neither used in the world nor an ingredient for anything, its whole function comes from its texture. That is why map makers use it as a dummy item with a custom name and texture.
