CoreSample

CoreSample is a lightweight geological surveying mod that lets you analyze what lies beneath your current chunk without revealing exact ore locations.

Place a Core Sampler, insert a blank sample sheet, and let the machine scan the chunk below it. Once the scan is complete, it produces a detailed geological report divided into depth bands, showing the ores and host materials detected underground.

Features

• Scans the current 16×16 chunk from the sampler down toward the bottom of the world
• Generates reports divided into 6 depth bands
• Displays ore composition as either percentages or exact block counts
• Supports modded ores through standard ore tags
• Works with already-generated terrain and does not modify world generation
• Does not reveal exact ore coordinates, keeping exploration and mining relevant
• Animated Core Sampler with paper feeding, printing effects and machine sounds
• Reports can be kept and reviewed later
• Configurable scan performance and report settings

CoreSample is designed for players who want geological information without turning prospecting into an X-ray system. It works especially well in exploration, technology and large modpack environments.
