The bug
The recipe book displays a functioning clock and compass in its content and latter one as a navigation tab icon. This especially makes crafting a compass for finding your spawn point obsolete, which is most likely not intended. It would be better if both clock and compass could display a static dial like they do in the statistics menu.

If i dont know in the mines what time it is, i can just go to my 2x2 crafting and search for "clock" then the clock will show the time even if I didn't craft it

Compass (and clock) should not be icon in recipe book tab
Or clock and compass items (as icon and in the recipe book / recipe preview) should be rendered like they are in the statistics.
Yes, rendering them static like in the statistics menu instead of displaying the animated item for tabs and previews sounds like the best solution. Thanks for reopening and changing the title.
You can still see a functioning clock/compass when trying to craft a clock/compass. Is that intended?
Very likely not. I've created a new report for it: MC-186797
Would be interesting to know why this was closed as "invalid". This is not a feature suggestion. With the compass tab icon in the recipe book always being visible, even in survival, crafting a real compass is pretty much a waste of resources. I doubt this is the intended behaviour. Even though it's not a technical bug, it's definitely a gameplay-related issue that needs to be fixed.
