Geo Hammer
Adds geological hammers and an electric scanner to detect nearby ores with smooth visuals and detailed information.
⬇ Download on Modrinth


This mod is more of an addon rather than a full standalone mod, but it is fully functional! It adds 3 tools.
Originally, it was meant to be called Geo Logic, but I decided to release a separate part of my main project if someone might need it.
The mod adds:
- Stone Geological Hammer Scans a certain area around the player for ores down to Y = 0.
- Iron Geological Hammer Can scan a larger area around the player and down to the maximum world depth (tested only in vanilla world height). It provides information about the approximate amount of any detected ores.
- Electric Scanner Can scan a large area around the player and returns the exact amount of detected ores. It has almost no cooldown and works only using RF energy.
When used, you will see a nice animation in the corner of the screen, with smoothly appearing textures of ores, their amounts, and names.

Configuration and customization
Since the mod is still in early development, almost everything in it can be configured
This should be especially convenient for people creating modpacks, as it is simple and does not include overly complex mechanics or systems.
Notes
Since this is only a separated part of my main mod (which is not released yet), it adds only a small number of features. However, I am open to adding new content in the future.
The mod may (possibly) contain some bugs, which I will fix in future updates.
You are free to use it in any modpacks — I would be happy to see it used somewhere online.
