Vertical Cut is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.3. A device you carry, the CRT (Coal-powered Rock Tomograph), draws a vertical cross-section of the ground in front of you in a corner of the screen. You see caves, water, lava and, with the better CRTs, ores and living things, without digging. The mod is needed on both the client and the server.
- Getting Started: your first CRT in ten minutes.
- Best Practice: tips for mining, exploring and saving coal.
Each one is made from the one before.

Vanilla items you put into a CRT's module slots (sneak + right-click with the CRT):
- Coal Pouch: any bundle; the CRT eats from it, and anything a furnace burns.
- Finder Bundle: a bundle with an amethyst shard; makes chosen ores flash.
- Lightning Rod: shields against interference.
- Compass: locks the direction of the cut.
- Spyglass: looks one picture deeper.
- Depth Gauge: the ruler with Y levels.
Only one module of each kind works in a CRT.
- Behind the Cut: where this mod comes from and why it works the way it does.
