About this project
What does Prospectus add?
Having trouble finding ores?
Want to play on a map where ores are more spread out?
If so, Prospectus is for you!
Prospectus adds one important tool: the Prospectors Pick. Use this to search for traces of nearby ores in the stone around you.
Tools can be made from all the standard vanilla materials, and also from many typical modded metals. Better tools are more accurate in their search.

This mod was inspired by TerraFirmaCraft and is really useful in worlds like Dooglamoo Worlds
