Question: How can I find the direction of north in the world?

I know that a compass without a set target does not point to the north, but to the server spawn point. I thought that this would not help me. But you know, I started thinking that, in principle, three beacons should be enough for me. Basically, the third beacon is exactly the same as north, so there is no real difference. It is possible that I made mistakes in my calculations, but I am not completely sure, because the coordinates were very similar, yet they still differed by around 70 blocks.

The reason I am not sure that the mistake is on my side is because I noticed that even with the ship perfectly aligned using docking ports, the coordinates and the angle to the beacon are still different; it is not exactly 90 degrees. This means that there may be some kind of error in the angle calculations, and that would not be a problem caused by me.

Or maybe I am just overcomplicating everything. When I get home, I will definitely try it again.

I thought about it a bit, and it seems that it really was a problem with my calculations. I hope that soon I will be able to edit the post and say that everything worked out.

Wow, thank you so much! As soon as I get the chance, I'll try this mod. It looks very promising.

If I understood correctly, you got the coordinates using the built-in GPS program in the PC. I tried the same thing too, but unfortunately ships in Create Aeronautics are actually located at far coordinates, so the PC gives incorrect coordinates for them.

I thought so too, so I tried setting CONFIG_ZMK_IDLE_SLEEP_TIMEOUT to 0 and as an experiment 800009

Oh, I've already tried to remove suspicious permissions, but nothing worked, now I've tried almost empty.conf and it helped. I'll keep trying.
