Latest file for v1.18.5:
ProspectingPlusPlus1.2.0.zip 1-click install


Prospecting can be a drag sometimes. You check tons of rocks without finding a single piece of ore. This mod aims to make the process easier, yet still balanced, by introducing two new prospecting modes, Double Node Search and Triple Node Search. These modes search in double/triple the base node range for ores (so 6, 12, 18 or 8, 16, 24 or etc.), but cost 4x/9x the durability and are prone to giving false negatives - so you'll see "no ores nearby" even though there may be an ore nearby. In double mode, there's a 1/3 (33%) chance of getting a false negative, while in triple mode, there's a 1/2 (50%) chance of getting a false negative.

Modes can all be configured, removed, or added via the config. Density mode can be disabled through the config as well. Note that if you want to edit descriptions for another language, use localization instead with the description as the key to be translated.

And a friendly reminder, prospecting is done in a cuboid area, rather than a sphere.

I also highly recommend ProspectorInfo to record the results of any density searches you may do.

I've had to pan for like 3 pickaxes and 2 prospecting picks and STILL haven't found copper. Time to start using cheats, hope this mod helps.

After modifying the cfg, then restarting the server, the json file is being reverted back to it's default settings.

**Edit:

After rereading the description I changed some values but not the text descriptions. This allows it to save.

For the Creator: Where do you edit the text? the EN.json doesn't have the fields for the modded search types.

@mathgeniuszach Thank you. I always opened the mod folder from the game and didn't know that mod config is a separate folder. Have a great day!

Animeous Where all mod configs can be found, in the ModConfig folder next to the Mods folder

How do you access the mod config? I want to remove the false negatives.
