XRay Texture Pack 1.17.1 / 1.16.5→ 1.8

XRay texture pack has been the most popular Minecraft pack on the internet for years. For a beginner this will sound strange, because it doesn’t add any new textures that make the gameplay more beautiful. Instead, you get x-ray vision. With this you can see through all blocks. Simply put, your environment will be made invisible so that you can instantly spot important ores even from a great distance. From now on, no more annoying cave expeditions are necessary.

Originally, the XRay texture pack was developed because the creator didn’t want to waste his free time mining. In addition, he probably didn’t have much luck in it either, so he thought of a more efficient way. Nowadays, his project is known worldwide and has several million downloads on Curseforge. It is also the most popular in our community. So, the developer Filmjolk has been helping many Minecraft players find netherite, diamonds, iron and other ore blocks for years.

In fact, XRay is so good that you can be on a mountain and still see diamonds in the underground. However, that’s not all, because the texture pack can be used in other Minecraft dimensions as well.By this we mean the Nether, because this has also become extremely important. You’ll immediately discover ancient debris, which is needed for netherite. Accordingly, you’ll never have to go on a long search for ores again.

Furthermore, the “invisible” blocks have a border so that no accident can happen. After all, it would be very annoying if you farm hundreds of diamonds and netherite with the XRay texture pack and end up falling off a cliff. Also, you can still see water and lava. This is also for your safety. If a lava lake were invisible, you would be in great danger of falling into it. And we all know what would happen then.

There are many reasons for the huge popularity, as you have already read. But there are many more. The XRay texture pack is perfectly developed. The pack works very simply and you don’t have to be an expert. As a result, anyone can use it and get an advantage over their friends. You can perfectly troll your friends with the pack, because they certainly don’t expect you to be so rich in Minecraft all of a sudden. Moreover, you’ll see directly when an enemy mob is approaching, because you’ll be able to see through all walls. By the way, there is also an extra version for realms, because previously XRay was not compatible with this mode.

All in all, there are many points that advocate an XRay texture pack download. Nevertheless, there are a few things to keep in mind. You are not allowed to play with it on most servers, because the rules forbid it. You can be banned for using it if someone reports you. That’s why you should check the server rules first. Fortunately, you have nothing to worry about in single player mode or private servers, because there you can do whatever you want.
