Echo Pickaxe

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

by marcsanzDev · on CurseForge

Never miss a hidden diamond or netherite again! Mining emits a glowing echo that reveals diagonal and adjacent ores in the same vein. 💎⛏️

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

Echo Pickaxe

Stop leaving valuable ores behind! Echo Pickaxe is a highly customizable, vanilla-friendly mining utility. When you mine an ore, your pickaxe emits a glowing echo wave that briefly reveals hidden, diagonal, and adjacent ores of the same type in the dark.

Hidden Vein Reveal

Never miss a hidden diamond or leave Ancient Debris buried in the netherrack again. 💎🔥

Key Features

Smart Echo Wave: Automatically detects and highlights matching ores nearby using a smooth glowing effect.
Subtle Feedback: Emits a soft amethyst resonance sound and magical vanilla particles when new hidden ores are discovered. ✨
Netherite Hunting: Works perfectly in the Nether, making the search for Ancient Debris much less frustrating.

Netherite Hunting

Seamless Compatibility

The scanner is smart. It natively understands the difference between stone and deepslate, linking standard and deepslate ore variants together in the same echo wave without breaking immersion. 🪨🔗

Seamless Ore Variants

It natively supports all Overworld and Nether ores out of the box. Playing with modpacks? No problem! It automatically supports modded ores using the standard forge/fabric ore tags. 🌍

Fully Customizable

Echo Pickaxe respects your playstyle and server balance. Everything is configurable via an intuitive in-game menu (requires Cloth Config and ModMenu). ⚙️

Echo Pickaxe Menu

Activation State: Set the mod to be always active, disabled, or only trigger when you are sneaking. Keep your screen clean when mining huge veins! 🤫
Pickaxe Whitelist: Choose exactly which pickaxe tiers (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) are allowed to trigger the echo. 🪓
Enchantment Requirements: Balance the mod for your survival world by requiring Fortune III, Efficiency V, or Silk Touch to use the echo wave. 📖✨
Radius & Duration: Adjust how far the echo travels and how long the glow lasts.
