Glow Ores — White
Ores glow white in the dark. The ore part of each block — the ore chunks and their outline — emits light at full brightness, so you can spot and mine ores even in pitch-black caves. In this variant the glowing outline is a clean white on every ore, while each ore keeps its own colored core (gold stays gold, lapis blue, diamond cyan, and so on) so they're still easy to tell apart. The surrounding stone, deepslate, and netherrack stay normally lit.
This is the white-outline version of Glow Ores. In normal light the ores look like the vanilla colored ores; in the dark they all light up with a uniform white glow.
No mods, no shaders, no OptiFine
The glow uses Minecraft's native emissive block models (1.21.2+). It works on pure vanilla Minecraft and is compatible with Sodium. Nothing extra to install.
Not X-ray — server-safe
This does not let you see through blocks. It only makes ores you can already see easier to spot. Safe to use on servers.
Covers all 18 ore types
Coal, iron, copper, gold, redstone, lapis, diamond, and emerald — each in overworld and deepslate form — plus nether gold and nether quartz.
