When attempting to use items like the clock and compass in other mods, they are unable to be used in those mods. This has to do with forge: AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2#4930

I noticed other issues have mentioned this as seen here: #2688

Please, remove whatever NBT data you are adding to them. This causes many recipe issues.

The NBT is used for the Compasses Work Everywhere feature. It's necessary for it to function. You can disable it if it 's causing incompatibility issues.
