Latest file for v1.18.15:
PropickFix-1.0.0.zip 1-click install


This mod changes the existing prospectors pick to include a "core sample" search mode. While in this mode, breaking a block with the prospectors pick will sample 64 blocks in a 1x1 line in the direction of the broken block face. Results are reported in the same format as the prospectors pick node search.

This feature is useful in preventing the need to create costly mineshafts into the ground randomly. It fills the gap between creating an ore heatmap with density mode and closing in on the ore with node mode.

This mod could be expanded in the future to change the search distance based on the material of prospectors pick. This is my first mod for VintageStory, so any suggestions are welcome.

does not work with one shot propick or at all

Does this still work in 1.19 if anyone knows?

A suggestion I have, is adding a radius based on the tier of metal, from 1x1x64 to 7x7x64, and a config to invert this. So one side of the scale is super precise but bad at catching small nodes, while the other is good at catching small nodes but needs more work to zero in on them.  Or just use them in tandem, keep a tier 1 propick for one side and your highest tier propick for the other.

I like the idea, I'll try it in my next server for sure

This certainly makes finding your first copper chunks a LOT easier.
