Simple Ore Detector
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.
Simple Ore Detector
Tired of digging aimlessly? The Simple Ore Detector mod introduces a tiered set of tools designed to help you locate valuable ores.
✨ Features
Detector Wand Detects ores beyond the clicked face, range depends on the tier:
- Wooden: 4 blocks range
- Iron: 8 blocks range
- Diamond: 12 blocks range
- Netherite: 14 blocks range
Ranges are configurable.
Prospector Block Scan the chunk and create a report containing the info about the ores in the chunk.
🤝 Compatibility
This mod checks for block with the "ores" tag. All mods that add this tag to their ores should be compatible.
This is my first mod, so it may have bugs.
