Ore Height Indicator

Ore Height Indicator

Ore Height Indicator is a client-side Fabric mod that adds a compact ore guide to the top-right corner of the screen. It shows your current Y level and ranks the ores that best match your current height and biome.

A simple mining guide

Each HUD row contains the ore icon, its localized name and a small suitability bar. By default, the HUD displays up to four ores.

The bar shows how well your current height matches an ore’s active distribution. It is not a block probability or a percentage of blocks around the player.

Worldgen-aware data

Ore Height Indicator does not rely on a fixed online chart.

In singleplayer, the mod reads the active world generation data from the integrated server. This includes vanilla generation, enabled datapacks and modded ore features that use Minecraft’s standard ore generation format.

When no integrated server is available, the mod reads the world generation files installed on the client. This keeps the fallback matched to the installed Minecraft version and modpack.

Private datapacks used by a multiplayer server are not sent to clients and therefore cannot be detected by a client-only mod.
