Miner's Glasses
About
Miner's Glasses is a mod that adds new ways of mining in the game, you can make these glasses simply using the new lens item. With the new glasses equipped, you can press the glasses ability key (default set to H), this will make all ores in a nearby radius glow and become easy to identify (similar to an xray). The glasses have upgrades that make you see more different ores, for example, with the coal glasses you can see coal ores, with the lapis lazuli one you can see coal and lapis lazuli ores, with the copper one you can see coal ores, lapis lazuli ores and copper ores, the upgrades go on and on. The mod uses forge and geckolib.
Getting Started
You can craft the lenses using 3 amethysts and 6 glasses on a crafting table, with them you can craft the first glasses, which have no function, but with 8 coals you can create the coal glasses, some upgrades will require a smithing table and a smithing template (the Glasses Template, made with 1 gold and 8 coppers). To repair the glasses you only need an anvil and lenses.
