Block Finder (X-Ray)
by echen0719
Block Finder (X-Ray) is a client-side utility that scans the loaded world for chosen blocks, both in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers.
What it does
Players set up a scan by choosing the blocks to look for. Once a scan starts, the mod checks the area around the player and shows how many matching blocks it has found through a live counter on the HUD. Scanned blocks are updated as the player moves, so the results stay current while exploring. A custom menu holds the scan controls, and the HUD counter can be switched off when it is not needed.
Scan setups can be exported to JSON and imported again, which makes it possible to keep a set of search configurations and load one when needed. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files cover 1.21.11, 26.2 and 26.3 in the game version range 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.3.1.nc for 26.3, published on 2026-09-19. The code is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
