Stop guessing whether a chunk is worth digging. Chunk Ore Scanner counts the ores you care about in the chunk you are standing in, saves that census, and updates the numbers as you mine — without revealing exact block positions.
Features
Chunk ore census — Scan your current 16×16 chunk and get counts for the ores you enabled
Saved progress — Scanned chunks stay remembered; mining matching ores decreases the stored counts
Action bar HUD — While you stay in a scanned chunk, remaining ore counts stay on the action bar
HUD toggle — Use the scanner in an already-scanned chunk to show/hide the action bar (counts still update while hidden)
Glint status — Unscanned chunks: scanner has enchantment glint · Scanned chunks: glint off
Chunk border particles — See the chunk outline while holding the scanner, or while the action bar HUD is active
Ore filter menu — Pick which ores to track (sneak + use, or /orescan:settings)
Supports Overworld & Nether — Coal, copper, iron, gold, redstone, lapis, diamond, emerald, quartz, nether gold, ancient debris (stone + deepslate variants where applicable)
Fair by design — Counts only; no coordinates, no ore highlight particles on veins
