Chunk Ore Scanner — Count Ores Per Chunk

Stop guessing whether a chunk is worth digging. Chunk Ore Scanner counts the ores you care about in the chunk you are standing in, saves that census, and updates the numbers as you mine — without revealing exact block positions.

Features

Chunk ore census — Scan your current 16×16 chunk and get counts for the ores you enabled

Saved progress — Scanned chunks stay remembered; mining matching ores decreases the stored counts

Action bar HUD — While you stay in a scanned chunk, remaining ore counts stay on the action bar

HUD toggle — Use the scanner in an already-scanned chunk to show/hide the action bar (counts still update while hidden)

Glint status — Unscanned chunks: scanner has enchantment glint · Scanned chunks: glint off

Chunk border particles — See the chunk outline while holding the scanner, or while the action bar HUD is active

Ore filter menu — Pick which ores to track (sneak + use, or /orescan:settings)

Supports Overworld & Nether — Coal, copper, iron, gold, redstone, lapis, diamond, emerald, quartz, nether gold, ancient debris (stone + deepslate variants where applicable)

Fair by design — Counts only; no coordinates, no ore highlight particles on veins

EN / JA — English and Japanese UI text

Credits in-form — YouTube / Ko-fi QR codes shown inside the settings Credits screen (scan from the UI)

1. Enable Beta APIs and apply both Chunk Ore Scanner BP + RP to your world

3. Use the scanner in an unscanned chunk (glint on) to start a scan

5. Sneak + use (or /orescan:settings) to choose which ores to count and open Credits
