Biome Compass
This is something that would be extremely overpowered in vanilla Minecraft HOWEVER due to the circumstances of how exploration works on Origin Realms, it may actually encourage more exploration then it would take away.
Let me explain:
In vanilla Minecraft, when you find a biome, you will always be able to come back to said biome. Its not going to disappear or move anywhere. Most interpretations of biome compasses are used to find biomes- but that’s not what an Origin Realms biome compass would be for. Instead this biome compass would allow you to return to biomes you have already found, due to the fact this isn’t possible currently because of worlds resetting, and the unique navigation on OR.
Biome compasses would be single use- and would only be able to locate biomes that you have already found on your own in the Open World
This would help a lot with a large issue on OR- the increasing use of RTP as opposed to real genuine exploration. Because of the severe inconvenience of not being able to return to previously found biomes, a lot of players have resorted to just spam RTP which severely takes away from the exploration experience. While it may seem counterintuitive- biome compasses would actually encourage players to authentically walk through the world- although they have a clear path to there destination, this is a lot better then just spam RTP
It doesn’t even have to be a compass, it could be a map- or a special item that shows you how hot or cold you are to a certain biome, to better retain that exploration aspect.

To balance this it could be made rare like the Marauder Compass and could have durability.

Its not too OP considering you can only use it for biomes you already found. Its just like in vanilla where if you find a biome you are able to go back to that biome
