The great thing about the Visible Ores texture pack for Minecraft is that it is allowed on all public servers. However, read the server rules carefully if you are unsure. It will help you find diamonds, ancient debris, and all other minerals. Compared to X-Ray, it is a legal alternative that is very popular among players. Although you don’t get X-Ray vision, the addon is still a great help in caves and the Nether. The same goes for SkyWars, where you also have to mine ores. It is essential in this PVP mode that you get your armor and weapons together as quickly as possible. Therefore, it is recommended to install Visible Ores if you don’t want to waste time in the future. It’s even compatible with mods, such as Immersive Engineering.
Furthermore, you can play this Minecraft texture pack with all editions. Accordingly, it doesn’t matter if you have a powerful computer or a small mobile phone. The PC version is a bit better because the ores glow when you use a shader. Also, some of them have pulsating animations. You’ll see them even better and they look significantly better. Anyway, this is only optional and the Visible Ores texture pack works fine without any other programs. In addition, it is also a perfect add-on, because it just outlines the ore blocks. So you can play it together with other packs that include all textures.
Overall, the Visible Ores resource pack is a really great help for Minecraft players. There are many people who suffer from visual impairment and rely on such add-ons. By the way, this topic is more important than you might think, which is why we also showcased Faithless. This project is especially for users with color blindness.

Video & Screenshots
This before and after screenshot clearly shows the differences from vanilla Minecraft. Move the slider to compare the details even better. The rest of the screenshots were created with the BSL shader. The creator recommends BSL for Java Edition players because it supports the LabPBR version. This feature allows each block to have its own block light.

Hello, I am playing Minecraft on Bedrock PE with the latest version (1.21) and I have a problem opening the pack. You said to just click the downloaded file to install it. Well, in my device it said it “cannot open the file because the file is not supported”. Is there anyway to fix this, and is this coming from my end or the file’s end? I will gladly look forward for your respond to my complaint. Thanks!
Its meant for java edition of minecraft
Coal does not highlight or glow even with BSL shaders. I haven’t tested any of the other ores yet besides copper which does highlight/glow is there a fix for this??
Can ya make it but for 32x?
I’m really disappointed with the pack I received. I have only two FPS, which felt akin to a PowerPoint presentation. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations at all.
You might want to consider upgrading your hardware, as this is essentially a default pack that modifies only ore blocks. If the issue lies with the shaders, then it’s likely your graphics card isn’t powerful enough to handle them.
Resource pack works for the most part. Only thing I’m trying to get sorted is the glowing effect. Does anyone have any shader pack recommendations to fix this? Playing on bedrock windows 10 edition. Saw BSL in another thread, checked it out and it’s unfortunately not compatible with W10, which is why I’m looking for an alternative. Thanks!
I play on bedrock and the deepslate ores do not have the border how can i fix this or is this not added yet to bedrock version
Hi.
I just downloaded the packs and followed all the steps.
But… I play on Bedrock (on the pc) with my girlfriend (playstation). But.. step 4 isn’t in my screen/video’s settings.
”Enable glowing textures there. Also, select “fancy” or “fast” for connected textures. It’s best to choose the latter if you use a bad graphics card.”
I can’t.. How? Please help! The pack is so cool!
okay u play on Bedrock Edition which has its own pack if u are using the pack u downloaded form the link under the heading “Bedrock Edition, Minecraft PE and MCPE:” u just have to double click it (the file should me ‘.mcpack’ ) it will open minecraft itself and start installing automayically…. now u just have to open you resource pack option in the settings and apply the pack
boom its done
I tried to do the same, but it unfortunately refused to do so, even tho I have Minecraft installed in my phone.
gold ore, ancient debris, nether quartz ore and deepslate variants do not have highlights. Was looking to see if there is a fix for this. I play on Minecraft bedrock on my laptop. Thanks!
how do you make it glow like in the video? whenever i use it, it just highlights the ores. any solutions?
You need to install one of the recommended shaders. The shaders make the ores glow.
What are the shaders called
BSL most likly
ok
do you fix it? I have the same problem here before changing to 1.20 I can use this texture pack without any shader I only use the resource pack no shader and the highlights and the glow seems fine, but after 1.20 there is no glow only highlight that shows up
I keep getting “OpenGL error 1282 Invalid Operation” when using this texture pack. I use Lunar client with Optifine 1.20.1. Any known fixes? I have tried updating my Java and GPU. Also manually added a DLL to Javas’ bin file.
how can i download it to my cell phone?
the pack is bad with OptiFine but perfect on Optifabric
I use it as an add-on it works perfect Faithful
pack is really cool but it doesn’t recognize the same ores if they are in deepslate style :/
it does not work in 1.19.4
Please ignore the error message. The pack works in 1.19.4
Does the glow not work with the iris shaders loader over optifine?
When I put in the texture pack the floor glitches and I can see through it and it also happens when I’m mining.
Any solutions?
Works great im using BSL shaders and it looks great aswell, but i cant seem to get the LabPBR block light thing to work any help?
Cool really cool
some of the ore have a weird glich texture?
the ores dont glow
Please read the installation guide if you want glowing ores.
I cannot get the ores to glow in mcpe.
epic textures
Hi, I have installed the texture pack and I have watched the video, but this one doesn’t work. What can I do in this situation?
Please read the installation tutorial.
The Ancient Debris does not glow in the dark then used with the Faithless Texture Pack tho can someone help me ?
Can we please get a 1.19 update?
~ thanks
This resource pack does not work on Bedrock Edition
It works on Bedrock, but the ores don’t glow because you need java shader for that.
And which one would that be?
This is way better than xray, in my opinion.
