Requires ModLoader.
recipe is Diamond Pickaxe in the middle block, redstone all around it.
Basically you right click while having it being held, then place the block you want to search for in a coloured row, when the block is within a 5x5x5 cube of you you'll receive a message and the pickaxe will change colours. If the pickaxe is destroyed with an item in it, the items are destroyed too, if you exit with an item in the pickaxe it will be lost. If two things are being searched for that are in different coloured rows, the one that is higher up is what will glow. Though the pick looks like an iron one it acts like a diamond pickaxe.
Leave feedback and suggestions!
This is my very first mod so hopefully I improve more with time.
I will be posting a video showcasing it at http://www.youtube.com/user/KyriosTorsi when I get a chance.
anyone think of this? wood redstone (or compass, or whatever) pickaxe can only detect nearby coal, stone can only detect iron, iron to gold, so on and so forth.

nope....great idea but I already think Brave0Duke is already programming the mod.
To make it so the ore that the pickaxe hits I'd need to edit Block.java so It won't be compatible with any other mod that edits Block.java, just so you know :tongue.gif:
:biggrin.gif: yayz you are awesome!! Creepah needz a hug XD
I think I'll make it so every ore is like redstone ore where if you hit it them it glows but only when you're using a redstone pickaxe.
:biggrin.gif: *hugs* thank you,if possible can you make a pickaxe with a clock or a compass? Use the same recipe but instead of redstone you use a clock or compass.
So you have 3 new items:
Redstone pickaxe
Clock Pickaxe
Compass Pickaxe
If you can add in these extras please and thank you for even thinking about modding this!
You see,i like to build houses with iron bars as a fence,BUT! What about the gate? You dont want evill critters going through the fence? So i got an itea,a iron bar door,a two blocks high openable piece of iton bars,with a yellow/gold doorknob. I would like to make this myself,but modding minecraft looks very hard...
Idea wise?
Make the Picaxe out of something more... expensive? I mean, I can walk around with a few logs, one wooden pickaxe, the redstone picaxe, torches/food and come out with all the iron i'll ever need, a ton of gold, and a fair amount of diamonds...
Do you have any GOOD ideas on crafting it? :biggrin.gif: Maybe only use for gold picks because gold is a good conductor? Or maybe add a new ore Magnetite?
Why don't you make it be a hand held item so it wouldn't be too overpowered, because if you think about it, being able to mine ores with an item that finds them is pretty over powered, but I do really like the idea :smile.gif:
Well, It's a pickaxe, it is handheld. It's not that overpowering, the max radius is 10blocks or so, and the closer you get the brighter the redstone.

I like the redstone pickaxe mod request.
Try this for the recipe:
stone,compass,stone
redstone,stick,redstone
nothing,stick,nothing
I don't want the pickaxe to all redstone put putting different items instead of redstone, like a compass or a clock would be cool. For example: Thank you for replying and giving me an idea
You might need to redesign what it looks like, Also what the durability be? It should be pretty strong considering how long it takes to mine redstone with a Diamond Pick..
:wink.gif: yea i guess the durability would have to high, but its not just for mining redstone...you could probably make it using a diamond,stone, and iron pickaxe but im not to sure about a wood cause thats pointless! XD I think the design looks good...i dont want the pickaxe to look completely red. i want the original look of a pickaxe with a redstone tip!
