Four gold and redstone
Mine gold ore with an iron pickaxe or better, then smelt the raw gold in a furnace — four ingots. Redstone ore also wants iron; break it in the deepslate and pick up one dust. Zombified piglins drop nuggets; nine nuggets make one ingot.
Plus around the dust
Open the Crafting Table. Put redstone dust in the very center square. Place a gold ingot in the top-middle, bottom-middle, middle-left, and middle-right — a plus, corners empty. One clock appears on the right; take it. This plus needs the 3×3 table.
Sun and moon in your hand
Hold it underground and the dial still follows the sun and moon on the surface. Day is the sun half; night is the moon. In the Nether the dial spins. An expert librarian sometimes sells one for five emeralds. The same plus in iron is the compass.
