Echo Pickaxe

Stop leaving valuable ores behind! Echo Pickaxe is a highly customizable, vanilla-friendly mining utility. When you mine an ore, your pickaxe emits a glowing echo wave that briefly reveals hidden, diagonal, and adjacent ores of the same type in the dark.

Never miss a hidden diamond or leave Ancient Debris buried in the netherrack again. 💎🔥

Key Features

• Smart Echo Wave: Automatically detects and highlights matching ores nearby using a smooth glowing effect.
• Subtle Feedback: Emits a soft amethyst resonance sound and magical vanilla particles when new hidden ores are discovered. ✨
• Netherite Hunting: Works perfectly in the Nether, making the search for Ancient Debris much less frustrating.

Seamless Compatibility

The scanner is smart. It natively understands the difference between stone and deepslate, linking standard and deepslate ore variants together in the same echo wave without breaking immersion. 🪨🔗

It natively supports all Overworld and Nether ores out of the box. Playing with modpacks? No problem! It automatically supports modded ores using the standard forge/fabric ore tags. 🌍

Fully Customizable

Echo Pickaxe respects your playstyle and server balance. Everything is configurable via an intuitive in-game menu (requires Cloth Config and ModMenu). ⚙️

• Activation State: Set the mod to be always active, disabled, or only trigger when you are sneaking. Keep your screen clean when mining huge veins! 🤫
• Pickaxe Whitelist: Choose exactly which pickaxe tiers (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) are allowed to trigger the echo. 🪓
• Enchantment Requirements: Balance the mod for your survival world by requiring Fortune III, Efficiency V, or Silk Touch to use the echo wave. 📖✨
• Radius & Duration: Adjust how far the echo travels and how long the glow lasts.
