About the mod

Ore Discovery Broadcast is a mod made specifically for server environments, but can still be used in singleplayer or LAN worlds. Whenever a player mines an ore, a message is broadcasted. With a configurable delay in between messages from the same ore. The format and colour of the message can be changed. It's also possible to choose which ores should be broadcasted, and which shouldn't, via the blacklist file.

Allows for more interaction between players, seeing what others are doing and which ores they find. The mod is also a viable solution as xray-prevention. As it's very noticable when a player keeps finding diamonds in an unnatural way. By default, the functionality is only enabled in dedicated servers. Can be changed by setting 'onlyRunOnDedicatedServers' in the config to false. Placed ore blocks by players will not be broadcasted.
