Ore Detector Compass

by SpencerMBSAupdateinfo · on Modrinth

This datapack adds ore detection by using particles to point to the ore and with some enchant upgrading you can tell what the ore is and how far it is…

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.1.1⬇ Download for 1.21.11⬇ Download for 1.21.10
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Ore Detector is a progression-based mining tool that helps players locate nearby ores using directional guidance instead of X-ray or block highlighting. When not enchanted, it scans a short area and spawns particles pointing toward the nearest ore. Enchanting the detector with Seeking I–III increases its range and unlocks additional feedback, including ore-type symbols and signal strength or how close the ore is to the player (LOW / MED / HIGH). Each enchanting level reduces the cool down for the ore detector. Enchanted books can be found or traded for though the librarians. There are two ways to get the Ore detector. Defeat the warden with a looting 3 sword for a chance to get it as a drop or craft it. Additionally you can craft echo shards using the custom crafting recipe.
