📋 About This Mod
This datapack adds an ore scanner item that can be thrown like a grenade to highlight nearby ores through walls.
Four scanners can be crafted using 4 iron ingots, 2 glowstone dust, 2 redstone dust, and an eye of ender: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/3387f96622ed600af0ef118420bb516507e96993.png)
Once crafted, the ore scanner can be thrown by right clicking. It will be thrown about as far as a splash potion: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/ade76486367a215f21ff4871382d99713cbdbae2_0.webp)
After the ore scanner lands, a bright light will flash, then all ores within an 8 block radius of where the scanner landed will be highlighted for 15 seconds: !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/10907ba820e271baefd61791aa3b809f9156ef5f.gif)
