Subtly Glowing Ores
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This resource pack adds colored and glowing outlines to vanilla ores. The glow does not affect other blocks or the world, it is just a visual effect. It works with most resource packs (set this one as topmost).
The pack has two variants:
- OptiFine/Continuity: requires Fabulously Optimized, Continuity or OptiFine.
- Vanilla: does not require other mods.

FAQ:
- Q: I don't see the outline! The ores turned dark!
- A: Ensure you downloaded the correct variant.
- Q: Still cannot see the outline or it doesn't glow?
- A: Make sure it is set as the topmost resource pack and that "Emissive Textures" are enabled in Continuity or OptiFine settings. It may not work with some resource packs that modify ores in a similar way.
