# 🧭⛏️ Immersive Deposit Scanner 🛢️🗺️
**Immersive Deposit Scanner**, also called **IDS**, is a Minecraft **NeoForge** addon built for industrial exploration with **Immersive Engineering**, **Immersive Petroleum**, and **JourneyMap**.
IDS automatically tracks mineral deposits and petroleum reservoirs discovered through valid core samples, then displays those discoveries directly on **JourneyMap** using clear waypoints and optional chunk overlays. 🧭📍
This mod is designed for players who want better industrial planning, cleaner drilling routes, resource mapping, and server-friendly exploration — without using x-ray, hidden scanning, or unfair ore detection. ⚙️⛏️🛢️
---
## ✨ Main Features
- ⛏️ Tracks **Immersive Engineering** mineral deposits
- 🛢️ Tracks **Immersive Petroleum** fluid reservoirs
- 🧭 Adds automatic **JourneyMap waypoints**
- 🗺️ Adds optional **chunk boundary overlays**
- 📍 Shows discovered deposits directly on the map
- 🔷 Keeps mineral and petroleum discoveries separated
- 🧱 Supports multiple tracked deposits in the same chunk
- 💾 Saves discoveries on the server
- 🌐 Supports multiplayer synchronization
- 👤 Supports personal discovery tracking
- 🏭 Supports server-wide discovery sharing
- 🔁 Allows manual resync
- 🧪 Allows scanning a held core sample
- 🧹 Allows removing tracked entries
- 🛠️ Designed for industrial modpacks and survival engineering worlds
---
## 📦 Required Dependencies
IDS requires all of the following mods to be installed:
- 🧭 **JourneyMap**
- ⚙️ **Immersive Engineering**
- 🛢️ **Immersive Petroleum**
- 🔧 **NeoForge**
- 🧱 **Minecraft 1.21.1**
- ☕ **Java 21**
⚠️ **Important:**
IDS will not load if **JourneyMap**, **Immersive Engineering**, or **Immersive Petroleum** are missing.
This mod is a required integration addon, not a standalone tracking mod. 🧩
---
## 🧪 How It Works
When a player obtains or uses a valid core sample, IDS reads the deposit information exposed by **Immersive Engineering** and **Immersive Petroleum**. 🔍
If valid data is found, IDS saves the discovery on the server and syncs it to the client. JourneyMap then displays the discovery as a waypoint or chunk overlay. 🗺️📍
A marker can appear at:
- 📌 the exact sample position, when available;
- 🧱 the center of the related chunk, when exact position data is unavailable.
IDS does **not** scan the world for ores.
IDS does **not** use x-ray logic.
IDS does **not** reveal hidden blocks.
IDS only records information legitimately revealed by valid industrial core samples. ✅
---
## 🧭 JourneyMap Integration
IDS uses JourneyMap to display discoveries visually and clearly. 🗺️✨
JourneyMap entries can include:
- 📍 mineral deposit waypoints
- 🛢️ petroleum reservoir waypoints
- 🧱 chunk boundary overlays
- 🎨 separate marker styles for IE and IP
- 🏷️ readable labels with deposit names
- 📊 optional remaining percentage information
- 🧹 automatic cleanup when entries are removed
Default JourneyMap groups:
- ⛏️ `Immersive Deposit Scanner / Immersive Engineering`
- 🛢️ `Immersive Deposit Scanner / Immersive Petroleum`
This makes it easier to plan excavators, pumpjacks, drills, pipelines, mining outposts, and resource routes. 🏭🚧

## ⛏️ Immersive Engineering Support
IDS can track mineral deposits discovered through Immersive Engineering core samples. ⚙️⛏️
Tracked information may include:
- 🧱 dimension
- 🗺️ chunk position
- 📍 sample position
- ⛏️ mineral deposit name
- 🔗 mineral identifier
- 👤 discovering player
- 🕒 discovery time
- 🔁 last update time
This helps players plan mining operations and industrial processing setups more efficiently. 🏭
---
## 🛢️ Immersive Petroleum Support
IDS can also track petroleum reservoir information from Immersive Petroleum data. 🛢️🔥
Tracked information may include:
- 🧱 dimension
- 🗺️ reservoir chunk
- 🛢️ reservoir type
- 💧 fluid or resource type
- 📊 remaining amount
- 📈 capacity or maximum amount
- ⚠️ depleted status
- 👤 discovering player
- 🕒 discovery or update time
This is useful for planning pumpjack locations, oil fields, refining chains, and long-distance fluid logistics. 🚧🛢️🏭
---
## 🗺️ Chunk Overlays
IDS can optionally draw chunk overlays on JourneyMap. 🧱🗺️
These overlays help show the exact area connected to a discovered deposit or reservoir.
Useful for:
- 🏭 drilling layout planning
- ⛏️ excavator placement
- 🛢️ pumpjack placement
- 🚧 industrial base expansion
- 🌐 multiplayer resource coordination
- 🧭 avoiding duplicate exploration
If both a mineral deposit and a petroleum reservoir exist in the same chunk, IDS keeps both entries separate. ✅
---
## 🌐 Multiplayer Support
IDS is server-authoritative. 💾🛡️
That means the server controls the discovery database and sends valid entries to clients.
Depending on configuration, discoveries can be:
- 👤 personal to each player;
- 🏭 shared across the whole server.
This makes IDS useful for both private survival worlds and larger industrial multiplayer servers. 🌐⚙️

## 💻 Commands
Main command:
`/ids`
Available or planned subcommands:
- 📋 `/ids list`
- ⛏️ `/ids list ie`

## 🚫 What IDS Does Not Do
IDS is not an x-ray mod. ❌
IDS does not:
- ❌ scan the world for hidden ores
- ❌ reveal blocks through terrain
- ❌ locate resources without valid sample data
- ❌ modify Immersive Engineering deposits
- ❌ modify Immersive Petroleum reservoirs
- ❌ create fake resource locations
- ❌ replace JourneyMap
- ❌ replace Immersive Engineering or Immersive Petroleum
IDS only records and displays information that is already legitimately discovered. ✅
