About this Mod

Prospector

Tiered hammers for detecting ore while mining.

This is a pre-cursor to an idea I had about making early-game mining easier, for the dwarves among us!

Frequently Asked Questions

Prospector server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Prospector compatible with fabric and neoforge?

Prospector officially supports fabric, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Prospector – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Prospector consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
