Geolosys Finder — Scanner Addon

Tired of strip-mining half the world just to find one Geolosys ore vein?

Geolosys Finder adds a craftable scanning tool with a real-time tracking radar.
Scan the area. Pick your target ore. Follow the compass arrow straight to it.
No more guesswork.

The Geo Scanner

A specialized prospecting device with 200 uses and a 3-second cooldown between scans.

Tracking Radar

After scanning and selecting a target ore, the HUD switches to a live tracking radar:

Tracking Radar HUD

Compass Arrow — a rotating triangle that points directly at the nearest ore block relative to your body. Just walk where it points!
Proximity Bar — fills up from Cold to Hot as you approach. Pulses when you're within 5 blocks.
Coordinates — exact X, Y, Z of the nearest ore block
Distance & Depth — how many blocks away + dig up or down
Ore Highlighting — at close range (< 5 blocks), a glowing colored wireframe appears on the ore block
Sound Ping — beeping speeds up as you get closer (toggle on/off in the GUI)

The HUD stays visible even after you put the scanner away — mine and build with both hands free!

Ore Selection GUI

Press Shift + RMB with the scanner to open the selection screen:
