"Advanced Finders" is a mod that adds several ore finders to make the mining process much more interesting and time-saving. With this mod, you will never miss the ore hiding behind the wall right next to you.
REQUIRES ForgeEndertech library
For best results, use with Large Ore Deposits
Key features
- Displays the direction to nearby ores around the player (the hands show reachable ores in the horizontal plane)
- Detects deep underground ore veins (the arrows show the direction (up/down) to the nearest vein)
- Signalizes about found large ore deposit (red lights)
- Synchronized between players (you can spy what shows the finder in the other player's hand)
- Safe for servers (all settings are synchronized with clients)
- Built-in support for most popular resource-based mods (full list)
- Full customization via config files, including the ability to add custom ores for your favorite mods
- Different finders for different types of ores

Im using the 1.12.2 version, i'm trying to use this mod to be able to find vulpes library ores (ones used for advanced rocketry) but all the ores have the id libvulpes:ore0, so they have subIDs, or whatever theyre called, how do i put these into the ids in the config files?
In reply to thor3005:
Yes, these ores have different metadata (varient property, shown in the debug screen (F3)). You can define them like this:
libvulpes:ore0:4, 0xffca6f37, copper
libvulpes:ore0:5, 0xffc6beb0, tin
Is there a fabric alternative for this?
1.17.1 Please !!
does this work with netherite
In reply to CJonseyy:
Metal finder does.
In reply to CJonseyy:
Yes it does, i just forget what me and my man had to do to get it to work
Hello, thank you for your great mod. I like the mod very much but I wonder if you like to make another recipe for gems finder, using emerald instead of diamond or both of them. I think it's easier to make gems finder than finding treasures or breaking lots of stones to find 3 of diamonds. Hope you think about that. Thank you!
In reply to vn_goodnight:
How about adding the ability to buy ready-made finders from a cartographer for emeralds? Thanks for the idea, btw.
In reply to EnderLanky:
Yes it's cool
Hey, just wondering why my finders have a weird glass texture, and the Mineral Finder isn't picking up some nearby coal. I have the 1.16.4-5.0.9.0 file, and Optifine, if that helps.
In reply to ElementalGamer20:
If you hit something with a finder, you can break it. Try repairing it in an anvil using a glass pane.
I know permission is explicitly granted, but I just wanted to let you know as a courtesy: I will likely be using this in a modpack I've been working on to share with my friends and use on my private server. Named after my discord guild, it's called Puncher Pack 7: Golden Beetroot Edition (I can provide a direct link if you actually want to look it up. Just feeling lazy right now).
Similarly, I am already using LoD in the aforementioned pack. it's really nice to be able to just say "if anyone needs resources, look for the flowers" and basically have a server that's somewhere between creative and your average modded survival world in terms of resource collection ease :-)
In reply to twisted_code:
Watch out for the gold rush (or should we call it the flower rush?). They say it is highly contagious ;)
can you please make it so the finders work on basic nether ores mod ores? im playing minecolonies official modpack but with manually aded your mod(advanced finders and large ore deposits). and let nether ores also have chance to be large*?
what means red lights but no arrow?
*just the miecraft ones i mean: nether coal, iron, gold, redstone , diamond, lapis and emerald - others are disabled in config(i dont know if the disabled ones are disabled by default, to be honest)
In reply to krjencik:
Basic Nether Ores support is available in version 5.0.9.0
Never seen red lights without any indicator. Possibly an indicator with incorrect color (full transparency).
To get large deposits for nether variants of ores added by BNO, use these configs (extract them to the config/adlods/Deposits folder).
I dont get a arrow that points me anywhere :(
In reply to fyraelefant:
The finders have a very limited radius to avoid being cheaty.
The finders in my Terraforged generated world cause severe FPS drops whenever you have one in your inventory. Is this a known issue or can this somehow be resolved?
In reply to Splutty:
Check the Issues page. Perhaps you can provide additional information about the problem to help resolve it.
