Resonance Scanner

The Resonance Scanner is an advanced exploration tool designed to locate specific blocks in the environment. Perfect for finding rare ores or tracking down specific materials in large caves or mining operations.

  1. Open GUI: Right-click the scanner to open its interface.
  2. Set Target: Place a block inside the scanner’s inventory slot to set it as the target (e.g., Diamond Ore).
  3. Activate: Sneak + Right-click to toggle the scanner ON/OFF.
  4. Scan: Hold the scanner in your Main Hand or Off Hand. It will scan in a cylindrical beam along your view direction.
  5. Feedback: If the target block is found within range, the scanner will ping with a sound and display an estimated distance message.

The scanner’s effectiveness scales with the number of target blocks in the inventory slot:
