📋 About This Mod

# Echo Pickaxe Stop leaving valuable ores behind! Echo Pickaxe is a highly customizable, vanilla-friendly mining utility. When you mine an ore, your pickaxe emits a glowing echo wave that briefly reveals hidden, diagonal, and adjacent ores of the same type in the dark. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/xW5gGRnU/images/ebcbd81cf0ea45dd1e9ff15799f0acb27227929f.gif) Never miss a hidden diamond or leave Ancient Debris buried in the netherrack again. 💎🔥 ## Key Features * **Smart Echo Wave:** Automatically detects and highlights matching ores nearby using a smooth glowing effect. * **Subtle Feedback:** Emits a soft amethyst resonance sound and magical vanilla particles when new hidden ores are discovered. ✨ * **Netherite Hunting:** Works perfectly in the Nether, making the search for Ancient Debris much less frustrating. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/xW5gGRnU/images/f911f50c60d4ee6b3536105fb43f977ab6e78ab0.gif) ## Sonar Pulse *(New in v1.1.0)* Can't find anything? Activate the **Sonar Pulse** (default key: `V`) to send out a wide-range scan that reveals every nearby ore at once — no need to break a single block. It even works without a pickaxe in hand! The pulse consumes one **Echo Shard** per use (configurable), plays a warden sonic boom, and fires a sonic particle from your position. All revealed ores are sorted by distance from the player so the closest ones are always shown first. 🔊 Configure the sonar radius, vision duration, cooldown, and shard cost from the in-game settings screen. ## Seamless Compatibility The scanner is smart. It natively understands the difference between stone and deepslate, linking standard and deepslate ore variants together in the same echo wave without breaking immersion. 🪨🔗 !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/xW5gGRnU/images/0975b1d4d67e45743052991f0cddaa4836e71b99_350.webp) It natively supports all Overworld and Nether ores out of the box.
