=== Block-Breaking === <!--T:5-->
<!--T:16-->
Propicks can be used to mine [[rock]], which include [[ores|ore deposits]] and mineral materials. However, when blocks are broken, [[rock#harvesting|rock]], [[rock#harvesting|small stones]] or ores normally contained in the chunks of stone will not be dropped, which basically means the block is destroyed without any yield.

<!--T:27-->
* '''Density Search mode''' allows players to sample three rock blocks within 4 blocks of each other to return the probability of ores in that chunk of the world. The probability is returned in ‰, parts-per-thousand, for each ore type. Density Search mode is useful in telling players what ores to expect to find within a given area, but does not tell players exactly where the ore may be, nor its potential size or quality.
 
<!--T:19-->
* '''Node Search mode''' is a much more precise way of identifying ores. By default, it is enabled in world generation with a radius of 6, but can be changed via {{ll|World_Configuration#Survival_challenges|worldgen command}} after a world has been created. After breaking a single block in Node Search Mode, the game scans all blocks in the specified radius, and tells the player if detectable ores are nearby. This mode tells players the direction and size of the ore deposit relative to the broken block.

Prospecting Picks (Propick) are used to help players locate ore deposits for mining. An in depth guide discussing the various mining modes can be found on the Mining page.

Creation

The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:

  • Casting (100 units): Copper and Bronze alloy
  • Smithing (1 ingot): Tool head crafted from the metals shown in the table (below).
  • Assembly:

Usage

See also Mining - Prospecting

Prospecting picks have two modes, Density Search and Node Search. You can select them with the 'F' key.

  • Density Search mode allows players to sample three rock blocks within 4 blocks of each other to return the probability of ores in that chunk of the world. The probability is returned in ‰, parts-per-thousand, for each ore type. Density Search mode is useful in telling players what ores to expect to find within a given area, but does not tell players exactly where the ore may be, nor its potential size or quality.
  • Node Search mode is a much more precise way of identifying ores. By default, it is enabled in world generation with a radius of 6, but can be changed via worldgen command after a world has been created. After breaking a single block in Node Search Mode, the game scans all blocks in the specified radius, and tells the player if detectable ores are nearby. This mode tells players the direction and size of the ore deposit relative to the broken block.

Blocks broken by the prospecting pick do not drop any materials.

Difference between modes

Density Search mode tells players the probability of finding ores, while Node Search mode tells players how much ore is detected nearby. Additionally, Density Search mode will not tell the player about the presence of certain ores such as gold or silver , that are found within deposits of other minerals. Node Search mode does inform players about child ore deposits.

Storage

The prospecting pick can be placed against a wall, stored in containers and placed on tool racks .

Notes

The head developer settled a debate in 2023 about density readings. To the question "Are prospecting reading in density mode chunk-based, or position-based?" Tyron responded "They are position based. thats why i don't want to represent them in the same way as prospector info". The mod Prospector Info displays density-reading results on the map in squares aligned with chunk borders, and many video tutorials have perpetuated the misconception that prospecting results are chunk-based.

History

  • Prior to version 1.18.0, node search mode was disabled in world generation by default.
