Creator notes

Ore Detector is a progression-based mining tool that helps players locate nearby ores using directional guidance instead of X-ray or block highlighting. When not enchanted, it scans a short area and spawns particles pointing toward the nearest ore. Enchanting the detector with Seeking I–III increases its range and unlocks additional feedback, including ore-type symbols and signal strength or how close the ore is to the player (LOW / MED / HIGH). Each enchanting level reduces the cool down for the ore detector. Enchanted books can be found or traded for though the librarians. There are two ways to get the Ore detector. Defeat the warden with a looting 3 sword for a chance to get it as a drop or craft it. Additionally you can craft echo shards using the custom crafting recipe. * current compatibility is from 1.21.10 to 26.1 Key features: - Directional particle guidance toward nearby ores - Seeking I–III enchantments unlock ore type symbols and distance from the nearest ore. - Seeking books obtained from librarians or loot - Ore detector obtainable through crafting or as a possible drop for the Warden - Echo shards are now cartable - Craftable book called Ore Detector guide, shows up
