None of the diamond finder (compass) mods seem to work for me. Either I cannot craft the compass or it has no additional needles.I did place the .cfg file as instructed.
The texture packs help a little but are very hit or miss. I don't know why, but for example while I can see pools of lava or diamond ore a ways away, sometimes the same are invisible till I am right next to them.
I tried Forge and the latest version has an error installing. An older version installed but none of the diamond finders work there either. Uninstalled Forge.
So, as the topic asks, does anyone know of a Diamond Finder that works in 1.6.4 with Modloader?
Well...I don't think that modloader is actually updated for 1.6.4 now that I think about it.
So you'd either have to use Forge 1.6.4 with this mod version 1.6.4 or you'd have to use modloader 1.6.2 (with the 1.6.2 game version) and the 1.6.2 version of this mod (on the same page but scroll further down I think).

Hi Zohar,
Thanks for the replies.
May I ask if you actually have this mod working now? And if so is it with versions 1.6.2 of loader, minecraft and finder?
I have burned up a lot of time on this but will happily try it again if you can confirm that it actually works for you. (And with no Forge also, correct)?
I have it working but with game version 1.6.4, forge, 9.11.0.886 and the 1.6.4 version of the mod. I haven't tried with no forge because so many of my other mods depend on it so I can't confirm that but in the readme file for it once you unpack, it says it works with vanilla so you shouldn't need it. You sure you're installing it correctly? His mods need a little more file positioning than move the zip to mods folder. Did you unpack the download and read the readme file? When you click on tab Mods on loading screen, is it listed there?
I'd suggest an alternative but I don't know of any other finder mods that are 1.6.4 ready.
I don't have it loaded separately, so I think forge has a way of working in those files as well. Only if you have trouble loading a mod and it gives you some sort of error would I look to any other loaders.
About the only thing I don't understand now is - changing the compass needle color in the .cfg file seems to have no effect! For example most ores I have found so far (redbrick, gold, diamonds) all have a yellow needle, even though I have changed the RGB color to 0 255 255 for diamonds.
Still, the finder as is really helps. It just feels like there is something else that's over-riding my changes.
If anyone has a thought on this I would welcome any tips.

(compass in middle, with diamonds at the sides (left, right, top, bottom). Nothing.
So I could not create the compass. This is one that I also tried with Forge after loading the previous Forge version (current was broke).
Can anyone say this still works today? And with what? (modloader, forge...?)
So you'd either have to use Forge 1.6.4 with this mod version 1.6.4 or you'd have to use modloader 1.6.2 (with the 1.6.2 game version) and the 1.6.2 version of this mod (on the same page but scroll further down I think).

Deleted my old minecraft and this time with 1.6.4 and a new Forge its working!
(Does not work with just the loader though - seems to require Forge).
BTW do you ever need to use MCPatcher if you are using Forge?
