Gold Panning
by mrarielsl
Gold Panning lets players pan for useful items from sand, red sand, dirt and gravel using a placeable gold pan filled with water.
What it does
A gold pan is placed in the world and filled with water from a bucket. Players then add a block of sand, red sand, dirt or gravel to the pan and right-click it four times to get a result from that material. The yield depends on which block was used, so each material gives its own set of items.
The mod works on Forge and NeoForge for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.8 on the latest builds. Both the server and every player need it, since panning is handled on both sides. The code is not open source; the project is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Placeable gold pan
The gold pan is set down as a block, so it can be placed on the ground at a chosen spot.
Water filling with a bucket
A bucket of water fills the pan, and the pan then accepts materials for panning.
Panning from four materials
Sand, red sand, dirt and gravel can each be added to the pan and panned for items.
Four right-clicks per pan
A pan takes four right-clicks to finish a round, after which the results are given to the player.
Compatibility

Use cases
Resource gathering in survival
Players who want items from common blocks can pan them instead of mining, which gives a steady source of goods.
Who it’s for: Players on survival or multiplayer servers who want a simple gathering activity. Server owners install it on the server, and clients join with it installed as well.
