Laeffy Posted October 17, 2025 Report Posted October 17, 2025 Hello guys, looked on wiki and YT guides on prospecting, but can't find any
LadyWYT Posted October 17, 2025 Report Posted October 17, 2025 Which mode are you using? Density search will provide a reading of what's probably in the area if you dig, but the readings aren't guaranteed either. Node search is limited to a six block radius by default(disabled entirely for Wilderness Survival and Homo Sapiens gamemodes), but will tell you for sure if there is an ore node nearby and what kind, as well as give you an idea of how close you are by listing the rough amount of ore it located(medium amounts, trace amounts, etc). You'll want to use Density Search to figure out good spots to dig--usually these will be readings of Decent or higher, but it can be worth checking Poor/Very Poor as well sometimes--and then dig straight down via ladders while using Node Search every so often to figure out what's actually there and where.
