Fullbright Ores

Fullbright Ores makes Hytale's ores much easier to spot by rendering the actual ore material at full brightness while leaving the surrounding stone and environment unchanged.

The mod also applies Fullbright rendering to compatible ore item models and automatically looks for supported modded ores when the world loads.

Why Fullbright Ores?

Ores can sometimes be difficult to distinguish in dark caves, shadowed areas, or against similar-looking stone.

Fullbright Ores improves ore visibility by applying Fullbright rendering directly to the ore portions of supported blocks.

Unlike mods that turn ores into light sources, Fullbright Ores does not light up the surrounding cave or recolor nearby blocks. The host stone remains normally lit while the ore itself stays clearly visible.

The original Hytale ore textures and models are preserved, keeping the ores recognizable and consistent with the game's normal visual style.

Modded Ore Support

Fullbright Ores automatically scans the loaded game assets for potential compatible ores when the world starts.

Supported modded ores can automatically receive the same Fullbright treatment as Hytale's vanilla ores without requiring individual compatibility patches.

The mod looks for ore-style block and item definitions, categories, models, and texture paths when identifying compatible content.

Modded ores still need to use a compatible 3D Hytale block or item model for Fullbright rendering to be applied.

Ore Items

Fullbright rendering is not limited to ores placed in the world.

Compatible 3D ore item models are also rendered using Fullbright shading, allowing dropped and held ore items to remain clearly visible.

Inventory icons generated separately by Hytale are not modified.

Ore Block Recipes

Fullbright Ores can optionally add crafting recipes for supported ore blocks.

When enabled, compatible recipes are placed inside a dedicated:

Ore Blocks

Workbench category using a native Hytale ore icon.

Ore block recipes can be disabled in the mod configuration if you only want the Fullbright rendering features.

Installation

Place the mod in your Hytale mods folder:

AppData\Roaming\Hytale\UserData\Mods

Enable Fullbright Ores in your world's mod settings and load into the world.

No additional setup or commands are required.

Notes

Fullbright Ores modifies supported ore rendering at runtime and does not replace blocks in your world, create helper entities, or leave behind custom blocks or lighting data.

Removing the mod and restarting the world returns supported ores to their normal Hytale rendering.

Fullbright affects the brightness of the ore material itself. It does not cause ores to cast light into surrounding blocks.

Automatic modded ore support depends on the structure of the other mod's assets. Unusual or completely custom rendering systems may require dedicated compatibility.
