OreFinder is a smart mining plugin that detects and highlights nearby valuable ores, making underground exploration faster, easier, and more rewarding.
Description
⛏️ OreFinder
OreFinder is a smart utility mod for Hytale designed to make mining and underground exploration more efficient by helping players track nearby ores with precision.
How it works
- Use
/xray uito open a simple interface where you can:- Select which ore types you want to track.
- Set a custom scan interval.
- On each scan, OreFinder reports in chat the nearest detected ore distance for every selected ore type, relative to the player’s current position.
New: Dynamic waypoint (map marker)
OreFinder now also places a dynamic waypoint / map marker pointing to the closest matching ore among your current selection.
- The waypoint:
- Updates automatically when you move and a better (closer) target is found.
- Refreshes quickly when the current target is mined, so it doesn’t stay stuck on an invalid block.
- Gets removed when tracking is disabled or when the player disconnects.
- Note: the marker uses a world-map supported icon (e.g.,
Home.png) to avoid placeholder icons.
Quick control
You can enable/disable tracking at any time with:
/xray toggle/xray t
Perfect for players who want a more strategic mining experience: less time searching, more time gathering resources.
