Why is it called a lodestone?

Lodestone's etymology comes from Old English, combining "lode" (meaning "way" or "course") and "stone," literally a "way-stone," because these naturally magnetic rocks (magnetite) were used by ancient mariners to find direction, acting as a guide for navigation. The term reflects its function, much like "lodestar," guiding people or things, but a lodestone specifically draws things to it, says Merriam-Webster.

What happens if you break a lodestone?

If you break a lodestone in Minecraft, any compass linked to it will become "unpaired," causing the compass needle to spin randomly, behaving like a normal compass in the Nether or End, and it will no longer point to the lodestone's location. You can re-link a compass to a new lodestone, but the old one stays broken unless you retrieve it from storage and re-attune it, effectively losing your previous marker, say players on Reddit.
