Ore detector

by restonic4

With Ore detector installed, a player can read where ores sit underneath the ground before digging to them.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.3 – 1.20.4

What it does

Several detector items are added, and each one picks up a different set of ores, so the type of detector a player holds decides which underground deposits it reveals. When nothing in range matches, the detector gives no sound; when it finds a match, it makes a sound. Crafting uses a general recipe, and the materials for each detector are changed by editing the recipe.

A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is open source under the MIT License and has files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Architectury API, Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), and RestApi are required.

Key features

  1. Underground ore detection

    Detectors reveal ores located beneath the player, so mining trips can be planned before any digging starts.

  2. Several detector types

    Different detectors find different ore types, letting a player choose the tool that matches the search.

  3. Sound feedback

    A detector plays a sound when it finds something and stays silent when the area is empty.
