Observer’s Lens is a powerful tool that lets you scan and track ores in your surroundings. It evolves with use – gaining experience, unlocking new scan targets, and guiding you with directional arrows and distance indicators.

If you get a chance to test it, I'd really appreciate any feedback — whether it’s a quick comment, bug report, or suggestion.
