Maikura Exploration Tools
by MaikuraKobo
Maikura Exploration Tools lets players locate nearby containers, spawners and other resource targets through a scanner with adjustable search distances.
What it does
The mod is an exploration utility for Fabric that helps players find structures near them. Its central item is an Exploration Scanner, which searches within a chosen radius of 16, 32, 48 or 64 blocks and guides the player toward matching points of interest through visual scanning guidance. Players switch between several scanning modes with a right-click, and category filters narrow the results to the targets they want to find.
Detection covers containers, spawners and resource targets, so a player exploring a new world can check for them without walking the area. Since the mod is installed on both sides, the server and every player need it. Maikura Exploration Tools requires Fabric API, and its only published file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.11, released 2026-06-08 under the MIT License. The source code is public, and the mod is open source.
