Ore Dowsing

The Ore Dowsing modification provides a unique tool for locating valuable ores in the Minecraft world. It adds a special rod that uses Flux energy (Forge Energy) to detect mineral deposits.

Rod characteristic upgrades

Since version 1.11.2, it has become possible to upgrade two main rod characteristics: search radius and tier level.

Expanding search area

The rod's search radius can be increased through the Efficiency enchantment. Each enchantment level adds 2 blocks to the default search radius.

Tier progression

The rod's tier level increases by consuming various types of ore. Each ore type has its own value for tier progression.

Rod development tiers

Tier 1: Shows types of ores located nearby

Tier 2: Displays ore types and distance to them

Tier 3: Renders block outlines without color coding

Tier 4: Displays block outlines with appropriate colors

Ore configuration

You can configure parameters for working with different ores through the Ore Dowsing configuration JSON file. The "oreDictionaryEntries" parameter contains a list of ore values from the Forge dictionary, "color" defines the display color at tier 4, and "value" sets the number of points for rod tier progression.
