Prospector
Prospector adds tiered hammers that detect and break ore, for players who want an earlier, easier start to ore gathering.
What it does
Hammers of several tiers locate ore nearby and break it on use, so prospecting takes fewer manual steps. The author describes an early-game aim of making ore gathering easier, with dwarves among the intended helpers. Both client and server need the mod, and it is published for Fabric and NeoForge on 26.1.2 only, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features

Hammers come in several tiers, each with a higher level of ore detection and breaking.
Ore detection
Tiered hammers reveal ore in the surrounding area as the player works.
Configurable behavior

What the author says
Tiered hammers for detecting ore while mining. This is a pre-cursor to an idea I had about making early-game mining easier, for the dwarves among us!
