Visible Ores Texture Pack - Overview

Makes Ores Visible

Visible Ores is a straight-forward texture pack that only affects ores and makes them brighter. You need to have Optifine to get the full effect as having only the base texture will simply highlight the ores without the visible glow.

Requires Optifine To Work Well

To make ores glow brighter than their surroundings, you need to have the optimization/shader mod, Optifine, installed on your Minecraft. This also allows you to use different shaders to complement and improve vanilla Minecraft's visuals.

Works Great With Xray Ultimate

If you're out ore hunting, get another texture pack called Xray Ultimate to see through blocks and dig down. Having both texture packs can definitely make mining ores easier and visually appealing. Note that you need to place the Visible Ores above Xray Ultimate in the resource pack menu.

Xray Ultimate Without Visible Ores

Xray Ultimate is a great texture pack if you're looking to mine ores underground. Be careful though as it can be dangerous as spaces are hard to make out, leaving you very vulnerable to falls.
