Just made a mod to make Create Ore Excavation more enoyable

The default Vein Finder in Create: Ore Excavation gives you text-only output when you scan. Works fine but feels dated.

So I built a small addon that replaces it with a proper handheld radar.

In game view

Prospector's Radar features:

- Heading-up radar UI (the map rotates as you turn)

- Every vein in range shown as a blip, nearest one highlighted

- Side panel: vein type under your feet, distance, total count

- Sneak + right-click cycles the type filter

- Configurable cooldown + radar ping sound

Optional radial density mode (more veins the farther from spawn) great for SMP servers that want resource gating. Also some commands are added to set/remove veins for admins only.

When on a vein

Requires NeoForge 1.21.1, Create, Create: Ore Excavation, and owo-lib.
