Description
A [TFC:TNG](https://modrinth.com/mod/terrafirmacraft) addon for 1.18.2 and 1.20 that adds three new types of prospecting tools.
- The Prospector's Hammer: A tool similar to the default Prospector's Pick but with a smaller range
- The Prospector's Drill: A directional prospector that scans in the direction you're facing
- The Mineral Prospector: A tool which scans a large area, but only reports non-metal ores
Feel free to add this to any modpacks, no need to ask
Balancing, art suggestions, and bug reports are always welcome on the github
As of 0.4.0, [KubeJS](https://modrinth.com/mod/kubejs) can be used to create custom prospecting tools. See the [wiki page](https://github.com/Notenoughmail/precision-prospecting/wiki/KubeJS-Integration) on the subject.
- **Note**: this feature will be moving into [KubeJS TFC](https://modrinth.com/mod/kubejs-tfc) (my other mod) in 1.20
