Thanks ilan

Can you add config to choose how much durability damage the prospecting pick takes? I'd like it to take 1 damage and I'm not sure how to dig through the mod's files to do that

Mod is confirmed working in 1.21.6

Hiran, Jan 13th at 8:00 PM

Could you add new prospecting mode that specifically outputs rock types? There is no mod that just adds this without trivializing prospecting in some way.

ilan , Sep 14th 2025 at 11:32 AM

Rikaiu if you download 1.1.0 then yes

Rikaiu, Sep 14th 2025 at 9:43 AM

would this work on 1.20.12?

ilan , Sep 10th 2025 at 6:37 AM

Krougal thanks for the kind words :)

I see that proximity pick hasn't been updated to 1.21.1 which might be the source of the problem - 1.21 requires using .NET 8 whereas 1.20 used .NET 7

Once they update to .NET 8 I can take a closer look to see if there is any incompatibility between the two mods

Krougal, Sep 9th 2025 at 6:35 PM

ilan Yeah, being as they are both dll mods I figured that.

Oh well. Thanks for responding.

At least it is an easy choice which mod to use; single-sample pretty much beats any other feature I can think of.

ilan , Sep 9th 2025 at 11:46 AM

Krougal modifying the behavior of the propick is a pain in the ass... the propick code isn't extensible

There would need to be a special compatibility patch to merge the behaviors of the two mods (if they modify the same parts of the code)

ilan , Sep 9th 2025 at 11:44 AM

Influfferious I uploaded a 1.21.1 version now

Influfferious, Sep 1st 2025 at 9:50 AM

I would really love this mod for the current version of the game. Is it still compatible despite being outdated?

Krougal, Aug 18th 2025 at 6:21 PM

Not compatible with proximity prospecting pick.

I reported it there as well.

I don't know whose side it would be on to make them compatible, or if either of you are interested, but it would be nice to be able to use both mods together.

Mlodyowiec

Glad to hear the problem's been sorted 🙂

Mlodyowiec, Jan 28th 2025 at 12:45 PM

Checked now, I have a mod that I forgot about, it's called Better prospecting and it's the source of the audio bug

ilan , Jan 28th 2025 at 10:28 AM

Mlodyowiec

You need to restart the game entirely after disabling the mod since the mod since the game doesn't "deactivate" the mod if you've disabled it

Mendall, Jan 28th 2025 at 5:09 AM

many thanks kind sir

Mlodyowiec, Jan 27th 2025 at 3:25 PM

The problem is, the mod still works, even if it's turned off, when I turn the mod off, and use prospecting pick, I still get the results after destroying one stone

ilan , Jan 27th 2025 at 7:34 AM

Mlodyowiec

Well, if it happens even if the mod's off, it isn't the mod causing it :)

Mlodyowiec, Jan 26th 2025 at 8:06 PM

There's an audio glitch instead of the sound of destroying a block with the prospecting pick, not sure if it's because of this mod, cuz if I turn this mod off, the glitch still happens, but the mod keeps working. Probably because the mod counts this single block as three and plays the sound three times, stacked

ilan , Jan 26th 2025 at 9:23 AM

Mendall

Updated now :)

Mendall, Jan 24th 2025 at 12:33 AM

any chance for a 1.20 update?
