Description
Glowing Ores makes resource gathering in Minecraft Bedrock easier and more satisfying. Ores stand out on every device: brightened textures on classic graphics, and genuine glow in the dark with Vibrant Visuals.
## Features
- **Works on every graphics mode**:
- **Classic (Simple/Fancy)**: ore pixels are brightened and saturated, so veins stand out clearly even in dark caves.
- **Vibrant Visuals**: ore veins literally glow in the dark. The glow is graded by each ore's natural shading — crystal facets and metal flecks shine brightest — for a natural, non-flat look. Materials are layered on top of Minecraft's official Vibrant Visuals maps, so metals keep their shine, gems stay glossy, and amethyst keeps its translucency.
- **Complete Ore Coverage** (stone and deepslate variants):
- Coal — subtle ember glow
- Iron, Copper (including oxidized green flecks), Gold — metallic glow
- Redstone — the strongest glow of all ores
- Lapis Lazuli, Emerald, Diamond — bright gem glow
- Nether Quartz and Nether Gold
- **Valuable Blocks Support**:
- Ancient Debris (side & top) — glowing metallic bands
- Gilded Blackstone — glowing gold flecks
- Amethyst Block, Budding Amethyst, and all Amethyst Clusters and Buds — soft crystal glow
- Mob Spawner — faint ember glow on the cage with brightly glowing fire, easy to spot from a distance
## How to use
1. Import the `.mcaddon` file into Minecraft Bedrock.
2. Activate both the behavior pack and resource pack for your world.
3. Put the Glowing Ores resource pack at the top of your active resources list to override default textures correctly.
4. *(Optional)* Turn on **Vibrant Visuals** in your Video settings to see the ores glow in the dark.
## Notes
- This pack does not contain "X-ray" features; it only enhances blocks you are already looking at.
- The actual glow-in-the-dark effect requires Vibrant Visuals. On classic graphics the brightened textures make ores highly visible but do not emit light.
- The glow is a surface effect: ores shine in darkness but do not light up the surrounding area.
- Fully Vibrant Visuals compatible — enabling this pack never turns Vibrant Visuals off for your world.
## Requirements
- Minecraft Bedrock Edition (v1.26.30+)
- No external dependency required
