Vanilla Emissive Ores [Sodium]

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 1.21.9–1.21.11Newest
Minecraft 1.21.2–1.21.8

⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.11 ⬇ Download for 1.21.2–1.21.8

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.

Make the ore textures emissive, completely in vanilla!

AFTER MINECRAFT 26.1, THIS SODIUM VERSION IS NO LONGER NEEDED! USE THE REGULAR PACK INSTEAD!

This pack utilises the new emissive block models feature from 1.21.2 to add emissive ore textures!

This version of the resource pack supports the Sodium mod, but is more performance heavy.
