The Divining Rod scans an area depending on orientation and provides information about the EMC values of the mineable blocks in that area. The information varies according to the level of the Divining Rod.

Usage[]

The Divining Rod comes in three levels. Each level adds greater accuracy and longer scanning distances, but at increased fuel costs.

Level Modes Information Provided
Low Short Range Average EMC value of blocks in scanned area
Medium Short Range
Mid Range
Average EMC value of blocks in scanned area
Best EMC value found
High Short Range
Mid Range
Long Range
Average EMC value of blocks in scanned area
Best, second-best and third-best EMC values found

Change modes with the Toggle Active key (default:"G").

Modes Scanning Dimensions EMC Consumption
Short Range 3x3x3 1/2 Charcoal (16 EMC)
Mid Range 16x3x3 Charcoal (32 EMC)
Long Range 64x3x3 1/2 Redstone Dust (64 EMC)

Divining rods still work if there is no fuel to consume in your inventory, allowing the player to save fuel by removing fuel from the player's inventory before using the divining rod.

Example: You are standing above ground looking down and use a High Divining Rod on Short Range mode. The following text is shown:

Divining suggests a value around... 2817.0
Best Found: 8192 Second: 256 Third: 4

This means the average EMC value of the 9 blocks below you is 2817.0 and that there is at least one mineable block under you worth 8192 EMC (Diamond), a second worth 256 (Iron) and a third worth 4 (Gravel).
