1-click install
When mining ore, it's always annoying when you can't find the last few blocks in a vein. This mod will make traces appear on rocks adjacent to hidden ore.
If you mine the previously hidden ore, any redundant traces will disappear, so you won't be sent on a wild goose chase.
I'm not super happy with the textures I made, since they're just modified basegame textures. The coal and borax textures are especially rough.
If anyone with some actual artistic skill wants to make some proper textures, I'd be very grateful for the help.

Oh no way, this is so cool! Is there a way to add distance to the placed blocks so it's not just orthogonal? Love the idea!
PurplePi I see, there's quite a lot of them, have you thought about perhaps just using one universal texture and instead tinting it based on the ore? That way it would be compatible with other mods that add more ores?
I can't wait to try this thank you!!
Looking forward to testing this out, great idea for a mod and doesn't feel cheaty 👍
Great update, cannot be more pleased <3
1.20.7 possible?
Rythillian yeah, they're in the mod files. They're currently just selectively erased versions of the normal ore textures.
Great mod, I use it every playthrough but can I make a request? can you add textures for https://mods.vintagestory.at/geologyaddons as it is also a mod I greatly enjoy but the ? mark ore tracers are very lame lol.
Once again it is a banger of a mod as it makes mining infinitely less tedious.
Very cool mode, but it's a bit tricky to tell the ore apart from the traces, are the textures just in the mod files? Might make some edits if so.
Thank you, works like a champ, even with my handful of ore mods. My players will love it.
Okay, change complete, traces can now show up after mining any block, so it's now properly useful for finding ore veins, not just cleaning them up.
This is overlay based, so it's not affected by world generation. Additionally, the way it's currently set up, it only gives feeback once in the vein, though on second thought, I think I'll be changing that.
I added the mod and went looking for a copper vein, but I didn't notice any change. Could you add a reference?
Does this mod add the tracers as world generation or is a block overlay thing? Kinda hard to tell with screenshots or a video.
This mod is great! My pickaxes durability and I thank you.
Could you put a screenshot of what happens? I get what it does but would like to see what it does as well.
