1.3.0+mc1.21.1-fabric
Compatibility
Required content
Changes
First release for Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1 — one file covers both.
Eleven handheld ore detectors — Iron, Gold, Diamond, Emerald, Quartz, Copper, Coal, Amethyst, Netherite, Lapis Lazuli and Redstone. Right-click a surface and the detector scans into it and reports what it finds in the action bar, tinted to the ore's colour.
- Directional scanning — 16 blocks down, 8 sideways or up, across a configurable column.
- Exact counts, not a vague hint: "Detected 4 Iron Ore nearby".
- Durability and repair — 1 use per scan plus 1 per ore found; repair in an anvil with the detector's own material; Mending and Unbreaking both work.
- Per-detector cooldowns — using one detector never puts your others on cooldown.
- In-game config via Cloth Config, reachable from Mod Menu: reach, column radius, cooldown, durability multiplier and beep volume, all bounded.
- Sculk sensors hear the beep, so mind where you scan in an Ancient City.
- Optional — Universal Ores (1.21.1 only): the Coal, Iron, Gold, Copper, Lapis Lazuli, Redstone, Emerald, Diamond and Quartz detectors also count its andesite / diorite / granite / tuff / calcite / blackstone / basalt ore variants, reported together with the vanilla ore. Universal Ores has no 1.21 build, so this applies on 1.21.1 only.
The Zinc Detector is not available on Fabric at this Minecraft version — Create ships for NeoForge only on 1.21.1.
Unofficial continuation of Ore Detector by restonic4 (MIT).
Optional dependencies
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
