About this project
What does 1 Sample Density Search add?
Simple mod that reduces the required samples for the Density Search of the Prospecting Pick from 3 to 1, allowing for much faster prospecting.
Due to the mod utilizing a Harmony patch, it should continue to work through any updates without issue. However, if an update makes changes to any of the intercepted methods, the Prospecting Pickaxe may not work as intended, as this mod will overwrite those changes.
As for mod compatibility, this is a similar story. This mod should be fully compatible with all mods that modify the ItemProspectingPickaxe class with one exception: Any mod that attempts to override the ProbeBlockDensityMode method of the ItemProspectingPickaxe class will have their functionality overwritten by this mod.
