Ore Finder

Ore Finder is a client-side Fabric mod that locates ores around you and guides you straight to them with color-coded guidance lines, directional arrows, and a live distance readout. Press M to open the menu, N to toggle the finder on or off, and B to refresh your search — no commands, no server-side setup, works on any world or server.

Track 11 Ore Types

• Overworld: Coal, Iron, Copper, Gold, Redstone, Lapis, Diamond, Emerald — every one automatically includes its Deepslate variant, so it works at any depth of your world
• Nether: Nether Quartz, Nether Gold, and Ancient Debris for netherite hunting
• Each ore has its own distinct color used across the guidance lines, markers, and HUD text, so you always know what you're looking at

Never Dig Blind Again

• Color-coded guidance lines drawn from you to the nearest matching ore, projected into the world
• Vertical dig lines with a "Dig ▼ X blocks" readout when ore is straight below or above you
• Directional arrows and surface markers — a glowing outline and X marker shows exactly where to dig
• "Directly above/below" alerts when you're on top of the ore vein so you stop walking past it
• Live distance in blocks, updated as you mine

Powerful, Lag-Free Searching

• Adjustable search radius up to 200 blocks via a slider in the in-game menu
• Track multiple ores at once — set your own max tracked ore count
• Click-to-filter menu with ore icons: toggle any ore type on or off in one click
• Optimized scanning engine — chunk sections are pre-filtered by the target ores' real Y-level generation ranges, so entire Y bands that can't contain the ore (e.g. anything above Y 32 for diamonds) are skipped with zero block lookups. Searches over a full 200-block radius finish in well under a second without frame drops
• Incremental background scanning spread across ticks — no hitching, even while searching at maximum radius

Fully Client-Side

• No commands to learn — everything is controlled from a clean in-game GUI with three keybinds
• Works in singleplayer and on servers; purely visual, nothing is modified server-side
• Settings persist between sessions
