Balanced Ore Detector Mod gives you a new way to find underground treasures without turning your world into a giant mess of holes. This mod adds special tools that use echo location to track down hidden blocks. You can pinpoint valuable materials by listening to sounds and watching particles instead of digging random tunnels.

Balanced Ore Detector Mod

Features:

  • Adds special tools to help you locate specific materials behind solid walls.
  • Players use echo location to find blocks by listening to sounds that bounce back.
  • Each tool makes a different sound, and the pitch helps you figure out what block is hiding nearby.
  • The volume of the echo and how long it takes to return tells you how far away the block is.
  • Spawns helpful particles to guide you toward the right spot.
  • Includes a basic version and a focused version for every tool.
  • The focused versions shoot a narrower sound beam to find ores easier, but they cost more items to craft.
  • Tools break over time so you still have to plan your mining trips carefully.
  • Works with other popular tech mods to find their custom ores like tin, lead, and silver.

Detector Types:

  • The Void tool locates empty spaces, water, and lava behind walls.
  • The Coal tool tracks down basic materials like coal, copper, iron, and quartz.
  • The Iron tool skips coal but adds gold, redstone, and lapis to your search.
  • The Gold tool finds middle-tier and rare items like diamonds and emeralds.
  • The Diamond tool tracks the rarest blocks, including ancient debris in the Nether.

How to Use:

  1. Hold your chosen detector tool in your main hand.
  2. Right-click on a solid block to send out a sound wave.
  3. Listen for the three loud bangs to bounce back from hidden ores.
  4. Watch for particles and follow the pitch of the sound to dig in the right direction.
