Sorry to be that guy, but i encountered a bug using the compass.
When you first stand on soil with seeds planted it shows 97 on the compass as shown below
But when you Jump it shows 98, picture below.

ETA: Ooppsy, I get it, it should decrease one. (Going to take me a while to remember that it's a backwards z-Axis.)
Maybe it perceives the seeds as being a full block, but when you jump up as you are still in the 98 block area (because they aren't a full block), it goes back to 98? Would it do the same with flowers and mushrooms?
It's a little hard to explain. Like are you at 98.0000 or 98.00001 or 97.99995 etc.. and that can change the reading. When computers add up numbers they're not 100% accuate the way real numbers in math are. They're just "close" and accurate to to certain number of digits. So as you jump several subtractions and additions are happening to your z position and by the time you land it can vary where you are. There's also some stuff happening in the collision part of the engine that can tweak the numbers as you move around. To add to that some of the vertical position effects in the game are PURELY visual. Like when you sink in mud you don't actually sink... we just draw the qbee a little lower etc...
Here, have a laugh at this picture.
