The Fetch

Quickstart

1. Craft Fetch using the recipe below — you automatically learn it when you join a world.
2. Place the skull anywhere in the world like a normal block.
3. Charge it by right-clicking the placed skull while holding a Diamond, Gold Ingot, or Emerald. The item is consumed and questions are added.
4. Ask a question by right-clicking the skull with an empty hand. The selection screen opens.
5. Pick a category, browse or search the list, select an entry, then click >> LOCATE <<. The nearest match's coordinates appear in chat and one question is consumed.

Overview

Fetch is a placeable skull that acts as a world oracle. Place it down, feed it gems to charge it with questions, then use it to locate the nearest entity, block, ore, biome, structure, or dropped item stack — anywhere in your current dimension. The coordinates are reported directly in chat, making it a powerful navigation and exploration tool.

What It Adds

Fetch adds a single craftable block — the Fetch skull — which also appears in the Functional blocks creative tab. It has no moving parts beyond its question counter, which is stored on the placed block and visible in the item tooltip before placement.

How To Use

Placing Fetch

Place the skull on any solid surface. It faces toward you when placed, just like a carved pumpkin or player head.

Charging Fetch (Adding Questions)

Right-click the placed skull while holding one of the following items. The item is consumed immediately and questions are added to that skull's counter:

You can charge it as many times as you like to stockpile questions.

Asking a Question

Right-click the skull with an empty hand while questions remain. This opens the Fetch selection screen, which has five category tabs across the top:

• Entities — mobs and other living things
• Blocks/Ores — any placeable block or ore
• Items — nearby dropped item stacks (player-usable items only)
• Biomes — biome types
• Structures — generated structures like villages, strongholds, and more

Use the search field to filter the list by name, scroll with the ▲ Up and ▼ Down buttons, and click any entry to select it. Then click >> LOCATE << to send the query. The nearest match's coordinates are printed in chat. One question is consumed per locate.

Item Tooltip

While holding a Fetch item (before placing), the tooltip shows:

• How many questions remain on that stack
• A reminder of the charging costs: Diamond (+20), Gold (+10), Emerald (+1)

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft Fetch with four Bones surrounding a central Ender Pearl in a cross/plus pattern. The recipe is automatically unlocked for all players when they join the world, so it appears in your recipe book immediately.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Questions are per-skull. Each placed Fetch skull tracks its own question count independently.
• One question per locate. Every successful LOCATE query costs exactly one question, regardless of category.
• Items category is curated. Only normal, player-interactable dropped item stacks appear — internal or technical items are filtered out.
• Structures are safe. The structures list only shows valid, locatable structures, preventing crashes on modded or unusual worlds.
• New skulls start with 3 questions so you can try it out immediately after crafting.

Progression And Strategy

• Craft Fetch early as a cheap compass for ores — four Bones and an Ender Pearl are easy to obtain.
• Use Diamonds to bulk-charge the skull before a long expedition, giving you 20 queries in one right-click.
• Keep a Gold Ingot or two handy for mid-journey top-ups (+10 per ingot).
• Use the Items category to quickly track down dropped loot after a death or find floating item stacks in the world.
• Place Fetch near your base as a permanent structure-finder, and use Emeralds for single on-demand queries when you only need one answer.
• The skull does not need to be near the thing you're locating — it searches your entire current dimension for the nearest match.
