About this project

What does Ore Finder add?

⛏️ OreFinder

OreFinder is a smart utility mod for Hytale designed to make mining and underground exploration more efficient by helping players track nearby ores with precision.

How it works

  • Use /xray ui to open a simple interface where you can:
    • Select which ore types you want to track.
    • Set a custom scan interval.
  • On each scan, OreFinder reports in chat the nearest detected ore distance for every selected ore type, relative to the player’s current position.

New: Dynamic waypoint (map marker)

OreFinder now also places a dynamic waypoint / map marker pointing to the closest matching ore among your current selection.

  • The waypoint:
    • Updates automatically when you move and a better (closer) target is found.
    • Refreshes quickly when the current target is mined, so it doesn’t stay stuck on an invalid block.
    • Gets removed when tracking is disabled or when the player disconnects.
  • Note: the marker uses a world-map supported icon (e.g., Home.png) to avoid placeholder icons.

Quick control

You can enable/disable tracking at any time with:

  • /xray toggle
  • /xray t

Perfect for players who want a more strategic mining experience: less time searching, more time gathering resources.
