Divining Rod
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.
The Divining Rod comes in three levels; each level adds greater accuracy and longer scanning distances, as shown in the table below.
A possible bug has been observed by some users where the divining rod consumes fuel when in the inventory.

Usage
Right-click a block in the direction you wish to scan with a Divining Rod selected. Change modes with the Toggle Active key. (By default: "G").
The levels of Divining Rod provide the following information:
| Level | Modes | Information Provided |
|---|---|---|
| 1File:Grid Divining Low.png | Short Range | Average EMC value of blocks in scanned area |
| 2File:Grid Divining Mid.png | Short Range Mid Range |
Average EMC value of blocks in scanned area Best EMC value found |
| 3File:Grid Divining High.png | Short Range Mid Range Long Range |
Average EMC value of blocks in scanned area Best, second-best and third-best EMC values found |
| Modes | Scanning Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Short Range | 3x3x3 |
| Mid Range | 16x3x3 |
| Long Range | 64x3x3 |
Example
You are standing above ground looking down and right-click holding a level 3 Divining Rod. Three values come up:
Best Found: 8192 Second: 256 Third: 4
This means there is at least one mineable block under you worth 8192 EMC (Diamond Ore), a second worth 256 (Iron Ore or Tin Ore) and a third worth 4 (Gravel).
Note: The divining rod does not appear to detect the proper EMC values for: nikolite, ruby, sapphire, and emerald ores (Value is reported as "1").
