  • Bored of digging through tons of dirt/soil and gravel and relying on pure chance?

  • Want to find resources quickly, WITHOUT defeating the need to explore abandoned mineshafts/huge underground caverns to get them?

  • Can't locate a nearby ender portal frame/abandoned mineshaft (despite that it's only behind a 7 blocks wall)?
  • Skeletons irritating you, but can't find the nearby mossy spawn room?


Then you need...

The Configurable Handheld Resource Detector!






Summary of how it works:
  • Configure the device by right clicking it.

  • Place a raw sample of the resource you want to detect (e.g. Lapis lazuli->(Lapis lazuli block/ore)) into the indicated slot on the screen.

  • You can copy over the resource data from other detectors by placing them into the slot.

  • Use the options in the GUI to customize the device further.

  • The device can detect blocks from 5 meters away when held or upto 8 meters if it's pointed at a block that it's set to scan for.
    (The device may be left idle in the main inventory, but than it will only have a detection radius of 4 meters).

  • The closer you get to a detectable resource block, the more rapidly the device will click.
    Likewise the more accurate you are in pointing the resource detector, the more rapidly the device will click (upto 8 meters)






The device can detect blocks from 5 meters away when held or upto 8 meters if it's pointed at a block that it's set to scan for.
A resource detector may be left idle in the main inventory, but than it will only have a detection radius of 4 meters.


A custom GUI is triggered by right clicking it:





I'm open to suggestions for improvements, so please feel free to post them.
HAVE FUN!

Update #5 : 4/06/124/06/12

Sorry for the delay, now updated for 1.2.5

Update #4 : 3/26/123/26/12

  1. Updated for 1.2.4.
  2. Fixed glitch: Device used to be insensitive to direction at close range.

Update #3 : 3/15/123/15/12

  1. Fixed glitch with shift clicking, crashing the game.
  2. Fixed glitch with resource input, not accepting blocks that the device would otherwise detect.
  3. Added several item ids to resource maps, so the device accepts more input.

Update #2 : 3/08/123/08/12

  1. Updated to support 1.2.3
  2. Fixed glitch, with pitch offset not being detected at the same y level.
    Thus increased accuracy.
  3. Added Custom beeping sound.
  4. Beeping increases also increases in pitch (as well as rate), the more accurately you point at a resource of interest.

Updated it for 1.1 With a few critical improvements : 1/20/121/20/12

Changes in 1.1 update:
  • Much greater accuracy when pointing the device.
  • Can now detect mossy cobblestone and mossy stone bricks.
  • Increased both pitch and yaw tolerance (when aiming the device) from 35 degrees to 90 degrees.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I know the problem.

It's meant to be in .Minecraft/resources/mod/sound
(not in bin).

Good Luck :)

Ender man are easy to kill, (at least on single player).

On any difficulty. Back yourself against a wall (with a block above you) making sure no other mobs are around.

Than let him come at you, and beat the life out of him!

Installation instructions are in the download.

Basically:

  • Install Audio mod.
  • Copy the mod files into your Minecraft.jar
  • copy over the  .wav file to .Minecraf/bin/resources/mod/sound.

The detected ores are already in any map that you create, so no need to increase the download size :)

You can find nearby strongholds and dungeons by adding mossy cobble/moss stone to the detector :D

Thanks for the interest.

The problem with making it multiplayer is that, all clients would need to have the same mod installed for it to work properly, and it would only be on modloadermp servers.

If there's enough interest, I may release a version where you don't need the item to detect nearby resources.

It would need to be nerfed to compensate (e.g. detect resource blocks within a 4-3 block radius).
It would work on any server (You just need permission from the moderators).

It is a finished mod.

The reason why it's not labelled "100%" is because there's always room for improvement in response to feedback.

You should put an eye of ender on the left from the redstone so making it would be more challenging!

Hmmm, maybe.
That would probably mean I'd probably need to change the art of the item a bit, to represent something a bit more magical.

Enderman aren't that hard to kill on single player though. By the time people find red stone, they probably would have had to fight through several hostile mobs and maneuver around deadly lava pits anyway.

Thanks for the idea though, if you or anyone else has any other tips on how to improve this mod, I'm open to them.

Yes you need Modloader.
If you want the device to play sounds you also need AudioMod (highly recommended).
