About this mod
Villager Compass adds a small pointer to the HUD that shows you the location of any npc in the game. If they're on the same map as the player, an arrow points to their exact location; otherwise, it simply lists the map location they're in.

Villager Compass is a simple mod that adds a small compass to the corner of the screen. This compass can guide you toward any NPC that you desire. If the selected NPC is in the same map location as you, an arrow will point to their exact location in real time. In the case that the NPC is in a different location entirely, the mod will list out that location.
I made this mod because I found minimap mods to be insufficient. Those mods are still useful, but it can be tedious to first find the player on the map, and then find the npc, due to the small icons. Villager Compass is meant to supplement the minimap mods to give a faster answer to the question, "Where is <insert name here>?"
Limitations:
The maps in Stardew are pretty disjointed. There isn't really a way to say, "the beach is south of the town" that is already built into the game. Due to how many distinct areas of the game map there are (even more so in modded), it would be a very tedious task to build out a graph of how each location relates to each other in terms of direction. Furthermore, there are often multiple entrances and exits between maps, so trying to point to each map in succession to guide the player toward a part of the game would be difficult. For this reason, I have simply listed the location of the NPC if they're not in the same map as the player to save a lot of time coding.
Feel free to send me suggestions and bug reports. Despite the limitations, I'm sure that there's more that could be improved about this mod, and I would love some feedback.
I'd appreciate a vote/endorsement if you feel generous!
