About Ore Finder

⛏️ OreFinder

OreFinder is a smart utility mod for Hytale designed to make mining and underground exploration more efficient by helping players track nearby ores with precision.

How it works

Use /xray ui to open a simple interface where you can: Select which ore types you want to track.

Set a custom scan interval.

On each scan, OreFinder reports in chat the nearest detected ore distance for every selected ore type, relative to the player’s current position.

New: Dynamic waypoint (map marker)

OreFinder now also places a dynamic waypoint / map marker pointing to the closest matching ore among your current selection.

The waypoint: Updates automatically when you move and a better (closer) target is found.

Refreshes quickly when the current target is mined, so it doesn’t stay stuck on an invalid block.

Gets removed when tracking is disabled or when the player disconnects.

Note: the marker uses a world-map supported icon (e.g., Home.png) to avoid placeholder icons.

Quick control

You can enable/disable tracking at any time with:

/xray toggle

/xray t

Perfect for players who want a more strategic mining experience: less time searching, more time gathering resources.
