Binds a compass: at a chunk's edge it whispers the biome, a hint of nearby structure, and whether slime would spawn. Higher Tier, more charges.

Pattern

Hover a tile to name it. Reading pattern diagrams explains the symbols.

How it works

Surveyor binds a compass that reads the land a chunk at a time. Right-click a block on the edge of a chunk, and the compass whispers what it finds:

• Biome, the biome of the surveyed chunk.
• Structure, a hint of the nearest structure within 128 blocks.
• Slime chunk, whether slimes can spawn there.

A click away from a chunk's edge does nothing and spends no charge. The compass stays quiet — touch a chunk's edge.

Tips

• Turn on chunk borders with F3 + G to find the edges.
• Survey the chunks around your base before building a slime farm.

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Surveyor. Hold a compass while you wake the rune.
