CoreSample
CoreSample lets you drill chunk-based core samples and view ore and material composition across depth bands without revealing exact ore locations.
The Core Sampler is the main analysis machine used to process geological samples and inspect underground ore distribution across different depth bands.
The Core Sampler Feeder processes inserted Core Sample Sheets and prepares them for geological analysis.
Core Sample Report displaying the ore composition of a sampled depth band as percentages.
Core Sample Report displaying the total ore count and individual ore quantities found within the sampled depth band.
Description
CoreSample is a lightweight geological surveying mod that lets you analyze what lies beneath your current chunk without revealing exact ore locations.
Place a Core Sampler, insert a blank sample sheet, and let the machine scan the chunk below it. Once the scan is complete, it produces a detailed geological report divided into depth bands, showing the ores and host materials detected underground.
Features
- Scans the current 16×16 chunk from the sampler down toward the bottom of the world
- Generates reports divided into 6 depth bands
- Displays ore composition as either percentages or exact block counts
- Supports modded ores through standard ore tags
- Works with already-generated terrain and does not modify world generation
- Does not reveal exact ore coordinates, keeping exploration and mining relevant
- Animated Core Sampler with paper feeding, printing effects and machine sounds
- Reports can be kept and reviewed later
- Configurable scan performance and report settings
CoreSample is designed for players who want geological information without turning prospecting into an X-ray system. It works especially well in exploration, technology and large modpack environments.
