Prospecting Hammers Mod - A Miner's Dream
This exceptional addon provides players with various geological hammers that function as underground metal detectors. When activated with a right click on any block, these ingenious tools instantly scan a specific area around and notify through the game chat about presence of valuable minerals.
Using them is incredibly simple - just right-click on the block that interests you. The hammer's smart mechanism will immediately conduct geological exploration in a certain radius and clearly inform you whether nearby resources are present.

How Scanning Actually Works
Search parameters are displayed as Width×Height×Depth. "Width" refers to X dimension for most directions or Z for east/west orientation. The "height" parameter indicates Y for horizontal directions and Z for up/down. Depth corresponds to how far the tool "looks" forward from your aim - Y for vertical direction, X and Z for respective orientation.
Future Updates
In upcoming updates, the developers plan to add additional metal types to support popular addons, including steel and bronze models with more advanced treasure hunting options.
