Seed Lab — Experimental
The Seed Lab can store or clear a world seed. Ore prediction from the seed is not implemented in version 1.0.0.
Important Limitations
OreFinder+ is a client-side mod. It checks blocks already accessible to the client and does not force unloaded chunks to load.
Detection depends on the block data received by the client. Server-side anti-Xray systems may hide real blocks and prevent accurate detection.
The mod is not guaranteed to be undetectable by server anti-cheat systems. Always follow the rules of the server you play on.
