We could make the compasses to point to the play nearest us. They can already be found in chests but if you do get one it would be a much greater advantage than it is now. you could use it to hunt other players, or hide from them easier if you knew which direction they were in.

ehh maybe just having them point back towards corn is enough to ask for. I dont think your idea will go down too well

I actually need the compasses sometimes to get back to the corn at map 3. :p
And my opinion about your idea is that it wouldn't be fair.

Theres lots of ways to find people like put your render distance to far or get to high ground and even the optifine mod. Compasses pointing at players would make things to confusing. Because what if theres some1 near by you but then some1 else just gets closer? It will get crazy and point everywhere and cause lag, especialy on the 120 slot servers. And you prob know this but compasses are mainly made to point to the cornucopia and thats another reason it will get confusing. And plus, this would give other players who dont have a compass a big disadvantage, they could just hunt them the whole time. But a good idea would be that when you punch (with the compass) it will say whos closest AROUND you not IN FRONT of you. (This was mainly from the build and destroy sg) Wow i didnt realize how much a wrote lol but compass pointing is a no but it was a nice idea! Keep of ideas i love hearing about what peoples ideas are! Oh! And i almost forgot, "May the odds be ever in your favour!"

I know that another PvP server had this and it greatly reduced camping but with the shortened time and smaller maps, there no need to be found if you dont want to be
