Texture Pack Makes Ores More Visible

1.21.2+ works without OptiFine
Below 1.21.2 requires OptiFine for emissive textures

This texture pack improves the visibility of resource ores in Minecraft. It changes the textures of to make resources easier to spot while mining, without changing gameplay mechanics.

The pack helps players mine more efficiently and saves time by making ores clearer and easier to recognize. It is especially useful for survival players, or anyone who wants a smoother and less frustrating mining experience.

This is a visual-only texture pack and does not affect game balance or give gameplay advantages beyond better visibility.
