1. Tar.gz is a like a Linux zip file but you CAN open it using a file manager, like 7-zip
2. This mod might not work anymore

Does this work wth 0.4.3? If not it should be upgraded, because this could be really handy :)

No, it didn't work on 0.4.3.

I made some minor changes (Which will follow the main license, Public Domain) and now it works again, at least on celeron55-minetest-1db0334:

After downloading it i changed the Iron Dectectors recipe to wood & glass, instead of using wood and iron lumps :D

could you add a handheld one that, when right clicked, tells you ehat is in front of you for a 5 block distance or something?

I wanted to make this a non-trivial device to make so it takes a lot of iron to make (think of it as the casing and the electronics/magnetics inside) and a sample of each of the ores to be found.

Of course, I could add a version that doesn't use steel blocks and just make it have a smaller range?

Randomproof hasn't been on for almost 2 years. Afaik you can post it as long as you don't violence the license. In this case 'public domain', so go ahead, although it would be nice to give randomproof credit.

and after upgrade it for find iron, mese and diamond



Every click over the object increase the range of search from 2 to max 12
