Whispering Twig is a lightweight, immersive Minecraft mod that adds a single configurable item designed for exploration, building, and modpack utility.

Overview

Right-clicking the Whispering Twig highlights nearby blocks with a specific forge tag in a radius of 16 blocks (by default). This allows players to locate hidden structures, rare resources, or any blocks tagged for discovery. The effect lasts 30 seconds, with a cooldown and limited durability to balance usage. Both the cooldown and the duration are configurable.
