'''Prospecting Picks''' (Propick) are used to help players locate [[Special:MyLanguage/Ore Deposits|ore deposits]] for mining. An in depth guide discussing the various mining modes can be found on the [[Special:MyLanguage/Mining|Mining]] page.

Prospecting picks have two modes, Density Search and Node Search.

* '''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 chunk, 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 [[Special:MyLanguage/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.

Density Search mode tells players the probability of finding ores, while Node Search mode tells players exactly where a detected ore deposit is. Additionally, Density Search mode will not tell the player about the presence of certain ores such as [[Special:MyLanguage/gold|gold]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/silver|silver]], that are found within deposits of other minerals. Node Search mode ''does'' inform players about child ore deposits.

The prospecting pick can be {{tnt|SneakClick|placed}} against a wall, stored in [[Special:MyLanguage/Containers|containers]] and placed on [[Special:MyLanguage/tool rack|tool racks]].
