Search is a Minecraft hack that highlights blocks of a specific type with rainbow-colored boxes. These boxes can be seen through walls.
Search is similar to X-Ray, but there are two main differences:
- Search can only reveal one type of block at a time, X-Ray can reveal multiple types of blocks simultaneously.
- Search works by highlighting blocks, X-Ray works by hiding blocks.
The second difference also allows Search to work with mods like OptiFine and Sodium, which alter Minecraft's rendering code in such a way that X-Ray can no longer hide blocks.
Settings
Block
| Block | |
|---|---|
| Type | Block |
| In-game description | “The type of block to search for.” |
| Default block | Diamond Ore (minecraft:diamond_ore) |
Area
| Area | |
|---|---|
| Type | Enum |
| In-game description | “The area around the player to search in. Higher values require a faster computer.” |
| Default value | 11×11 chunks |
| Possible values | 3×3 chunks, 5×5 chunks, 7×7 chunks, 9×9 chunks, 11×11 chunks, 13×13 chunks, 15×15 chunks, 17×17 chunks, 19×19 chunks, 21×21 chunks, 23×23 chunks, 25×25 chunks, 27×27 chunks, 29×29 chunks, 31×31 chunks, 33×33 chunks |
Limit
| Limit | |
|---|---|
| Type | Slider |
| In-game description | “The maximum number of blocks to display. Higher values require a faster computer.” |
| Default value | 104 (or 10,000) |
| Minimum | 103 (or 1,000) |
| Maximum | 106 (or 1,000,000) |
| Increment | 1 order of magnitude |
Values are displayed as regular numbers, but saved as orders of magnitude (e.g. the default 10,000 blocks value of is saved as 4). This becomes visible when shift-clicking on the “Limit” slider to manually enter a value: Instead of entering the desired number of blocks directly, the user must enter the desired order of magnitude.
