Prospecting Process

To prospect, a player must break 3 rock blocks in 'close' proximity to "sample" the area for ores. The prospecting pick can only be used on non cracked rock blocks. 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.
