About this project
What does Mining Goggles add?
Prospecting made easy!
Mining Goggles is a mod for Forge that allows you to find specific blocks visually. It's like you have "X-Ray" however a bit more balanced allowing for use in modpacks. Specifically designed for mods that have prospecting or ore clustering aspects such as TerraFirmacraft, Project Wish, or Geolosys. However, it can be balanced to work with any set of mods.
Mining Goggles adds a collection of goggles and items that allow for finding specific ores/blocks based on their "wavelength". While every block may have a wavelength by default only ores have them (configurable in the config). The goggles look for specific wavelengths to display, depending on your goggle's quality and tuned wavelength will determine its rendering range.
