About this project

What does Base Detector add?

Disclaimer: This mod was made in vs code with the help of the integrated AI by asking the AI to make the current command conditional, displaying a message in chat if the amount of villagers is superior to a spefific amount.

I did this for me originally, based on a lua script I made for Figura years ago, but I'm sharing it because it can be useful, even though the java code was mostly written by AI through instructions, inspired from the script I made, within VS Code.

This mod adds a new command to detect if there is a probability that is a hidden base nearby (up to 8 chunks around you), based on the amount of villagers present in the base.

In vanilla, you can use F3 to show the amount of entities in your render distance, which can be used to find underground bases. The mod does the same, except it focus on the amount of villagers.

Each time you run /basedetector, the mod will tell you if there is the probability of a base nearby.
