Precision Prospecting
Sometimes prospecting requires a little precision
Quick answer
Which Precision Prospecting release should I use?
Precision Prospecting 2.1 targets 1.21.1 with NeoForge. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Precision Prospecting required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Precision Prospecting 2.1 need?
2.1. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install TerraFirmaCraft, Patchouli first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 4 come through another mod in the chain.
4 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Precision Prospecting add?
A TFC:TNG addon for 1.18.2 and 1.20 that adds three new types of prospecting tools.
- The Prospector's Hammer: A tool similar to the default Prospector's Pick but with a smaller range
- The Prospector's Drill: A directional prospector that scans in the direction you're facing
- The Mineral Prospector: A tool which scans a large area, but only reports non-metal ores
Feel free to add this to any modpacks, no need to ask
Balancing, art suggestions, and bug reports are always welcome on the github
As of 0.4.0, KubeJS can be used to create custom prospecting tools. See the wiki page on the subject.
- Note: this feature will be moving into KubeJS TFC (my other mod) in 1.20
