Echo Pickaxe

# Echo Pickaxe Stop leaving valuable ores behind! Echo Pickaxe is a highly customizable, vanilla-friendly mining utility. When you mine an ore, your pickaxe emits a glowing echo wave that briefly reveals hidden, diagonal, and adjacent ores of the same type in the dark.  Never miss a hidden diamond or leave Ancient Debris buried in the netherrack again. 💎🔥 ## Key Features * **Smart Echo Wave:** Automatically detects and highlights matching ores nearby using a smooth glowing effect. * **Subtle Feedback:** Emits a soft amethyst resonance sound and magical vanilla particles when new hidden ores are discovered. ✨ * **Netherite Hunting:** Works perfectly in the Nether, making the search for Ancient Debris much less frustrating.  ## Sonar Pulse *(New in v1.1.0)* Can't find anything? Activate the **Sonar Pulse** (default key: `V`) to send out a wide-range scan that reveals every nearby ore at once — no need to break a single block. It even works without a pickaxe in hand! The pulse consumes one **Echo Shard** per use (configurable), plays a warden sonic boom, and fires a sonic particle from your position. All revealed ores are sorted by distance from the player so the closest ones are always shown first. 🔊 Configure the sonar radius, vision duration, cooldown, and shard cost from the in-game settings screen. ## Seamless Compatibility The scanner is smart. It natively understands the difference between stone and deepslate, linking standard and deepslate ore variants together in the same echo wave without breaking immersion. 🪨🔗  It natively supports all Overworld and Nether ores out of the box. Playing with modpacks? No problem! It automatically supports modded ores using the standard forge/fabric ore tags. 🌍 ## Fully Customizable Echo Pickaxe respects your playstyle and server balance. Everything is configurable via an intuitive in-game menu (requires Cloth Config and ModMenu). ⚙️  * **Activation State:** Set the mod to be always active, disabled, or only trigger when you are sneaking. Keep your screen clean when mining huge veins! 🤫 * **Pickaxe Whitelist:** Choose exactly which pickaxe tiers (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite) are allowed to trigger the echo. 🪓 * **Enchantment Requirements:** Balance the mod for your survival world by requiring Fortune III, Efficiency V, or Silk Touch to use the echo wave. 📖✨ * **Radius & Duration:** Adjust how far the echo travels and how long the glow lasts. * **Ore Toggle:** Enable or disable each ore type individually — coal, iron, copper, gold, redstone, lapis, diamond, emerald, quartz, ancient debris, and gilded blackstone. ⛏️ * **Sonar Settings:** Configure sonar radius, vision duration, shard cost, and cooldown independently.  ## Dependencies To run this mod, make sure you have the following installed: * **Fabric API** (Required) * **Cloth Config API** (Required) * **ModMenu** (Highly Recommended to access the settings screen) --- *Happy mining, and never leave a diamond behind!* --- *I make these mods in my free time — if they save you time or make you smile, a coffee keeps the updates coming* ☕ [](https://ko-fi.com/marcsanz_dev)
