An admin tool for catching X-ray cheaters. OreWatch makes the ores around you glow through walls. Use it to compare a player's mining path with where the ores really are.
Only operators can use it (
orewatch.use, default: op). Other players never see the glowing blocks.
Features
- Glowing ores: each ore near you gets a glowing outline that shows through walls. Every ore type has its own color.
- Visible only to you: the glow is shown only to the admin who turned it on. Several admins can use it at once.
- Always up to date: the glow disappears as soon as an ore is mined or leaves your range.
- 10 ore types: coal, copper, iron, gold (including nether gold), redstone, lapis, diamond, emerald, nether quartz and ancient debris.
- Clickable chat menu: run
/orewatchand click to toggle each ore. - English / Japanese: messages follow each player's game language automatically. You can also edit every message.
- Lightweight: nothing is saved to the world, unloaded chunks are skipped, and you can set a limit on how many blocks glow.
- No dependencies.
