Recovery compass link to items instead of death location and it will stop item countdown to despawn* when held in main/off hand**
This way recovery compass would be more useful and worth it. Hardcore player could use it too
How would compass link to items
When placing a recovery compass (linked or not) with any item in a crafting table you will get the recovery compass linked to the item (and the items stays in the crafting table) and it will point towards the item
Compass in case the item is...
1) Dropped (regularly, by droppers, by breaking a container or upon death***): Compass will point towards the position in the world of that item
2) In a container (chest, barrerl, hopper, bookshelf, etc) or displayer (frame, lectern etc): Compass will point to the position of the container/displayer
4) In other item (bundle, shulker): Compass will link to the bundle/shulker while the item it's inside
3) In a player/mob inventory or ender chest: Compass will point dynamically towards the position of player/mob who's keeping the item
4) Used/destroyed: Compass will spin randomly as the item no longer exists
* So you will have time to get it even if it's deep underground
** So there would be a limit of 2 items with stopped cooldown per player
*** This would make compass keep its original purpose because you could link it to an item you always carry and the compass would point towards your death location. And if the item is destroyed you probably wouldn't have a reason to come back
