About this Mod
Contraband Scanner - mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge)
Item "Prohibited Scanner": by pressing RMB, it checks the area and writes to the chat,
whether a forbidden item was found (by default - items from the nirvana mod).
What is scanned in radius (default 50 blocks):
- containers - chests, barrels, shulkers, furnaces, hoppers, dispensers and any
mod blocks that provide a standard ItemHandler; - blocks in the world - growing plants, cars, any blocks of the target mod;
- objects lying on the ground;
- inventories of other players and their ender chests.
Right click - detection by range zones, without exact coordinates:
- up to
detectorRadius(16 m) - “close proximity is prohibited, aim with the detector”; - from
detectorRadiustoscanRadius(16–50 m) - “prohibited nearby” (just a fact); - from
scanRadiustofarRadius(50–100 m) - “there is a prohibition” + cardinal direction; - further than
farRadius(100 m) - it does not see.
The exact location is never given out: from afar you get directions, closer - a fact
presence, but the squeak of the detector brings it close. The pitch of the sound is higher for
near zones and lower for distant zones.
Metal detector mode: while an item is selected in the hand, it passively “rings”
area and beeps - the closer to the prohibited, the more often the squeak and the higher the tone. Right click
at the same time, it still produces a full report with a list of finds.
