Description

Ore Detector is a Minecraft Bedrock add-on that helps players locate nearby ores without using X-Ray or altering vanilla blocks.

Simply use the Ore Detector, choose the ore you want to search for, and the add-on will locate the nearest matching ore. Once found, a live tracking HUD displays the ore's coordinates and distance, updating in real time as you move. Designed for survival gameplay, Ore Detector makes mining more efficient while preserving Minecraft's exploration and progression.

How It Works

Use the Ore Detector and select the ore you want to locate.

The add-on scans the nearby area and detects only the nearest ore of the selected type. Once found, tracking begins automatically.

Only one ore can be tracked at a time to maintain balanced gameplay.

Live Tracking HUD

After a successful scan, a tracking HUD will appear displaying:

• Ore Name
• X Coordinate
• Y Coordinate
• Z Coordinate
• Live Distance

The distance updates automatically as you move toward or away from the tracked ore.

Distance Indicator

🟢 Green — Near

🟡 Yellow — Medium

🔴 Red — Far

Automatic Tracking

Once the tracked ore is mined, the tracker automatically:

• Stops tracking
• Removes the HUD
• Clears the target
• Allows a new scan immediately

No manual reset is required.
