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
- Import the
.mcaddonfile into Minecraft Bedrock. - Activate the Glowing Ores resource pack for your world.
- Put it at the top of your active resources list to override default textures correctly.
- 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
