Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

Minecraft 1.21.7–26.1.2Newest
Minecraft 1.20.4
Minecraft 1.20–1.20.2

⬇ Download for 1.21.7–26.1.2 ⬇ Download for 1.20.4 ⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.2

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.

Minecraft Visible Ores

Requires the Continuity mod to work!

This resource pack makes all ores (excluding coal) glow with a clean outline, making them much easier to spot while mining. It was created for use with shaders, which often make caves darker and reduce ore visibility. This pack solves that by improving contrast without breaking immersion.

In addition to the glow effect, ores are given a clean connecting border that improves readability and helps you notice veins more easily. This also makes ores stand out when they’re partially hidden in lava, behind blocks, or in other difficult to see areas.

Diamonds!
