    To use Compass Plugin, you need to have a compass in your hand. You can get one by using the command /trackingcompass or by crafting one normally. Right-clicking with the compass will open the GUI where you can choose who or what you want to track. You can track other players, the world spawn, your respawn point, your latest death, or your custom waypoints.

    Once you have selected a target, the compass will point towards it and show its name on the item lore. Left-clicking with the compass will tell you the distance in blocks and coordinates to the target (if enabled in the config file). If the target is in a different dimension, the compass will point to their last known location before switching dimensions. If the target leaves the server or their bed is broken, the compass will point to their last known location as well.

    One of the coolest features of Compass Plugin is that you can create your own waypoints and track them with the compass. To create a waypoint, you need to have a paper in your hand and right-click on a block. This will open a menu where you can name your waypoint, choose an item to represent it, and select a color for it. You can also choose whether you want your waypoint to be personal or global. Personal waypoints are only visible to you, while global waypoints are visible to everyone on the server.

    To track your waypoints, simply right-click with the compass and select the waypoint option. You will see a list of all your personal and global waypoints that you can click on to track them. You can also right-click on a waypoint to edit or delete it.
