Prismatic Ore Sight

Quickstart

1. With the mod active in your world, explore or enter a cave and give the automatic scan time to check the nearby area.
2. Look for dotted, glowing outlines around ore blocks. The outline color indicates the ore type.
3. Move toward a marked block and mine it normally. As you explore, the scan updates around your new location.

There is no tool to equip or button to press.

Overview

Prismatic Ore Sight automatically searches near you for ores and marks them with ore-colored outlines. The scan runs gradually, so markers may take a little while to appear after you enter an area or move to a new one.

What It Adds

The sight marks these ores:

Stone and deepslate versions of the listed ores use the same color.

How To Use

The mod works automatically while you play. It checks an area roughly 50 blocks around you on each axis and displays markers for up to 32 of the nearest detected ores. Walk around to search elsewhere, and allow the scan to catch up after moving.

Markers can appear on the near face of stone, deepslate, gravel, granite, diorite, or tuff that blocks your view of an ore. Other solid blocks can hide the marker, so an unmarked area is not necessarily ore-free.

Crafting And Obtaining

No special item or recipe is needed. Ore sight works automatically with the mod active.

Progression And Strategy

Use the colors to decide which deposits to investigate first. If an expected marker is missing, try moving closer or changing your view: the ore may be hidden by a block the sight cannot mark through, or may not have been reached by the gradual scan yet.
