Hi, this is a very small program, but it can be useful if you are struggling to find out which way your turtle is facing.

All it needs is a ladder or a torch and one solid block in its inventory and one empty spot in each direction of the turtle.

It then places the torch or ladder and the metavalue tell the relative direction of the torch/ladder to the solid block and because of the the way the turtle is facing.

Amazing you thought of that. This should get more attention.

Indeed this is a clever way to do this, I can't believe that noone has ever thought of doing this before, good job on this.
