Scannable Reforged
A NeoForge fork of Scannable by Florian "Sangar" Nücke — now for Minecraft 1.21.1 and 26.1.2.
Equip a scanner, install the modules you want, and let it light up the world around you — nearby ores, mobs, chests, spawners, and other points of interest, tagged with floating markers and an on-screen overlay. No more strip-mining on a hunch.

How it works
Craft a Scanner, then craft and install modules to decide what it looks for. Hold to charge a scan — a pulse sweeps outward and tags everything in range. Swap modules anytime to change what you're hunting for.
| Module | What it finds |
|---|---|
| Common Ores / Rare Ores | Tag-driven (c:ores), so modded ores work out of the box (Allthemodium, Vibranium, Unobtanium, and the like) |
| Animals / Monsters | By mob category — modded mobs included automatically |
| Living Entity (configurable) | Specific mobs, targeted via spawn eggs; the config screen shows a 3D mob preview |
| Block (configurable) | Specific blocks — right-click to add, or use the config screen |
| Fluids | Any tagged fluids |
| Chests | Chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and modded storage (c:chests / c:barrels) |
| Spawners (new in this fork, configurable) | Mob spawners — configure by mob (right-click a spawner or a mob, or use spawn eggs), or leave empty to highlight every spawner |
| Lootr (new in this fork) | Unopened Lootr loot containers, highlighted in gold and cleared the instant you loot them — requires the Lootr mod |
| Range | Extends your scan distance |
What this fork changes
- Now on Minecraft 1.21.1 and 26.1.2 (NeoForge) — the original targets up to 1.20.4. The 26.1.2 build was rewritten for 26.1's new RenderPipeline / GpuTexture graphics system, so every effect renders correctly including with shaders (Iris / Oculus).
- New module — Spawners (
scannable:spawner_module) — configurable by mob; highlights nearby mob spawners. Vanilla by default; trial spawners and vaults can be enabled via config. - New module — Lootr — highlights unopened Lootr loot containers in gold and removes each highlight the instant you loot it (no rescan). Crafted from a Chest module + a gold ingot. Without Lootr installed it's inert and shows a "Lootr mod required" note.
- Hide Broken Blocks — scanned blocks you mine, or that get replaced, drop out of the highlight live without rescanning (client config toggle, on by default).
- Bigger battery — scanner energy capacity is up from 5,000 FE to 20,000 FE. Charge it in any FE charger or cable.
Compatibility
- Minecraft 1.21.1 and Minecraft 26.1.2, NeoForge only (Fabric and Forge aren't currently provided). Each version is a separate download — grab the one that matches your pack.
- The 1.21.1 build also loads on packs running older 1.21.1 NeoForge, such as All the Mods 10 (NeoForge 21.1.228). The 26.1.2 build is built for All the Mods 11.
- Tested in large modded packs (AllTheOres, Allthemodium, Occultism, Sophisticated Storage, and more) alongside shaders — Iris + Sodium on 1.21.1, Iris / Oculus on 26.1.2.
