How to Use:
- Right-click (or tap interact on mobile) while holding the Biome Radar to open the biome list.
- Pick one of 27 biomes (Pale Garden, Deep Dark, Mushroom Island, Desert, Badlands, Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, Savanna, Old Growth Taiga, Cherry Grove, Flower Forest, Grove, Dark Forest, Swamp, Warm Ocean, Deep Ocean, Snowy Plains, Jagged Peaks, Sulfur Caves, Lush Caves, Dripstone Caves, Nether Wastes, Soul Sand Valley, Crimson Forest, Warped Forest, Basalt Deltas, The End).
- Pick a search range: 1,000 blocks, 4,000 blocks, 10,000 blocks, 20,000 blocks or 50,000 blocks.
- Each search costs Diamond Blocks (2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 depending on the range). Diamond Blocks are only consumed when a biome is actually found, so a failed search costs nothing.
- Find Another: repeat the same search to skip the previous result and get pointed at a different instance of the same biome.
- No world entity is spawned: the answer is printed in chat and on the action bar.
How to Access the Menu and Controls
You can open the configuration dashboard and choose your scanning profiles in two different ways:

- Ore Compass: Right-click / interact while holding the item.
- Endgame Glasses: Equip on head, then press [Sneak Jump].
- Mob Tracker: Right-click / interact while holding the item.
- Biome Radar: Right-click / interact while holding the item.
Method 2: Using Commands
Type the custom command in chat:
- /tc:xray: Opens the main settings dashboard.
- /tc:xray toggle: Quickly toggles the radar ON or OFF without opening the menu.
- /tc:xray unequip: Instantly unequips the glasses and returns them to your inventory.

Key Features
- Pulsing Highlight Outlines: Smooth glowing 3D wireframe boxes around detected blocks through walls with adjustable opacity (10% to 100%).
- 3D Laser Tracer Beams: Directional colored laser lines projecting from your line of sight directly to ore veins and loot containers.
- Floating Distance Holograms: 3D floating markers displaying target name, exact distance in meters, and vein cluster size (e.g. Diamond: 4.2m [3 blocks]).
- No Highlight Cap: Every target found inside the scan radius is outlined, the radius is the only limit.
- Cluster Representatives: Each connected ore vein keeps a closest-block representative, so the beam and the label always point at the nearest block of the vein. Break it and the radar immediately looks for a replacement.
- Instant Cleanup: Clusters whose representative drifts beyond the scan radius are removed together with their outline, label and tracer, the moment you break a block.
- Search by Block Name: An in-game text search modal allowing you to filter for any specific block keyword (e.g. diamond, spawner, debris, chest, vault, gold).
- Real-Time Held Item Tracking (Hand Mode): Hold any ore or block in your hand to instantly restrict radar tracking to that specific block type.
- Fast Scan Engine: Inside a 24 block radius the game engine answers a single bulk block query instead of checking every position, which keeps the scan smooth while you move.
- Anti-Lag Performance Engine: Built-in 180 FOV Culling, 2-Phase Sparse BFS scanning, and budget time-slicing to maintain a locked 20.0 TPS and smooth frame rates even at 64m radius.
