Lodestar Trail

Places

Places on the Lodestar menu holds the places you have saved and where you have been recently, plus the journey you are planning. It has three tabs: Saved, Recent and Journey.

Each row shows the place’s icon, its colour, its name, and how far away it is with a compass direction, such as “72 blocks SE”. A place in another dimension shows that dimension’s name instead, such as “the Nether”. Long lists are split into pages with ‹ and › buttons below them.

The Places screen on the Saved tab. Rows show an item icon, a colour square, a name and a distance with direction, such as Mine, 32 blocks W, and Nether base, the Nether. The selected place's name, coordinates 64, 1, 40 and the Overworld are shown on the right with Guide here, Edit, Add to journey and Remove buttons. Page 1 of 2 is at the bottom of the list.
Select a place to see what you can do with it.

Saved

Section titled “Saved”

The places you saved with Save this place, up to 32 per world. Select a row to see the place’s coordinates and dimension on the right, with these buttons:

Button What it does
Guide here Guides you to this place and closes the screen
Edit Changes this place’s name, colour and icon
Add to journey Adds this place as the last stop of your journey (Journeys)
Remove Removes this place from the list, after asking first

When Saved is full, Save this place is greyed out and its tooltip says how many places you can keep. Remove one to make room.

Recent

Section titled “Recent”

The last five different places you were guided to, newest first, including places chosen from a map mod. Select one to Guide here, Save as a place (which opens the editor so you can name it) or Add to journey.

Journey

Section titled “Journey”

The Journey tab lists the stops Lodestar will guide you to in order. See Journeys and share codes.

Saving or editing a place

Section titled “Saving or editing a place”

Save this place on the Lodestar menu, Save as a place on Recent and Edit on Saved all open the same editor. A preview at the top shows how the place will look in your lists.

The Edit place screen. A preview row at the top shows a campfire icon, an orange colour square and the place name. Below are the Name field with an orange Colour chip beside it, a grid of 32 Minecraft item icons with the campfire selected, and an open colour wheel with a brightness bar, eight suggested colours and a row of recent colours. Cancel and Save are at the bottom right.
Editing a place with the colour wheel open beside the icons.
  • Name: a new place starts as “New place”. This is the name shown in your lists and while guiding, up to 48 characters. If you leave it empty, the place is named after its coordinates.
  • Colour: the chip beside the name shows the place’s colour, or No colour. Press it to open the colour wheel. Choose No colour (the crossed-out swatch) to use your guide’s colours. With More options on, a Hex colour field appears too; leave it empty for no colour.
  • Icon: choose one of 32 Minecraft items: red bed, chest, barrel, crafting table, furnace, spyglass, amethyst shard, map, lodestone, beacon, bell, campfire, lantern, torch, diamond, emerald, iron pickaxe, wheat, oak sapling, cherry sapling, sweet berries, water bucket, oak boat, saddle, obsidian, end portal frame, eye of ender, nether star, totem of undying, spawner, sculk sensor and white banner. The arrow keys move around the grid. A new place starts with the map, and Home uses the red bed.

Press Save to keep your changes or Cancel to close without saving. Saving the same spot again updates the place that is already there, and Lodestar says “Updated” with its name.

A place’s colour is used for its row, and for your guide while you are being guided to it. Your guide’s own colours are used for places with No colour.

More options

Section titled “More options”

With More options on, each row also shows the place’s coordinates, and the selected place gains Copy share code. This copies a code that lets a friend add this place. They paste it with Import a code (Journeys and share codes).
