How do I get my rare metal detector back?

I may have lost my rare metal detector when I was reconfiguring my toolbar. When I cleared it, I dragged many of the icons into the world, which with a bit of recent testing shows I might have thrown this item away.

Since I can't kill the boss again, how can I recover it?


This was the response from the developer:

  • Try "/find metaldetector"
    • But if it has been some time ao it's gone
  • Reactivate the boss spawn with "/param m_bossRespawnDelay = 10"
    • Means respawn after 10 seconds
    • Be sure to set it back to -1 after

In both cases, achievements will be disabled.
