This texture pack adds glowing (emissive) ores with borders to Minecraft, making them stand out in caves\u2014no mods required, not even OptiFine or Continuity!<\/p>\n
Most emissive ore packs rely on core shaders, which can break in future versions and don\u2019t work with Sodium. Instead, this pack takes advantage of Minecraft 1.21.2+’s emissive block model support, ensuring better stability and full Sodium compatibility.
\nIt also support nether ores (ancient debris, nether quartz, nether gold and gilded blackstone)<\/p>\n
Optimizations
\nI’ve optimized this pack as much as possible to maximize performance:<\/p>\n
– Cullface \u2013 Doesn’t render faces covered by other blocks.
\n– Hidden Faces \u2013 Makes invisible any faces blocked by other parts of the model (e.g., the back of the glowing ore).
\n– Minimal Elements \u2013 Uses as few model elements as possible.
\n– Minified Models \u2013 Removes unnecessary spaces and characters, reducing file size by around 100%.
\n– Custom Textures \u2013 Uses unique glowing ore textures so the game doesn\u2019t have to search through multiple texture libraries.<\/p>\n
These optimizations provide a massive performance boost, especially in areas with many blocks!<\/p>\n
Features:<\/p>\n
– Completely Vanilla \u2013 Works in pure Vanilla Minecraft, no mods needed!
\n– Sodium Compatible \u2013 Fully works with Sodium, so you don\u2019t have to give up your favorite optimization mod.
\n– No Incompatibilities \u2013 Compatible with all mods and resource packs unless they drastically change item models.
\n– Optimized \u2013 Tested for performance impact and has little to none!<\/p>\n
_Note: Due to the way Minecraft renders emissive textures, the coal ore might look a bit weird. If you want to remove them, open the pack file and remove anything to do with coal_ore._<\/p>\n

Enjoy!
