It is a chance based search system with long range - specifically, it shows the chance (in permilli) for specific ores to be present within the chunk of the first point sampled all the way from surface to mantle. | ||

To prospect, a player must break 3 {{ll|rock|rock}} blocks in 'close' proximity to "sample" the area for ores. These blocks must be located a '''minimum''' of 3 blocks apart (blocks '''between''' samples) and a maximum of 16 blocks apart. It is possible to sample three blocks within a square, or in a line where the last sample is 8 blocks away from the first sample. Upon breaking the third valid sample block, displays the densities of all the ores in the chat window based on the chunk that the '''first''' of the three blocks prospected (broken) was located in. | To prospect, a player must break 3 {{ll|rock|rock}} blocks in 'close' proximity to "sample" the area for ores.

To interpret the information, one must understand that this mode ''does not detect the actual presence of ore blocks'', but detects the ''chance that ores are present''. The game uses randomly generated ore density maps whenever a chunk is generated. These determine the chance for ores to appear. Even if a player removed all the ores from a chunk, the prospecting reading would remain the same.

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. | ||
