Seamless Glowing Ores

Every ore in the game glows in the dark. Touching ore of the same type joins into one outlined shape, even when it is sitting in different kinds of stone.

Two files, pick one

File	What it does
Glow	Ores glow. Nothing else changes.
Glow + Border	Ores glow and gain a connected outline that merges between touching blocks.

One dependency, every loader

This pack needs Fusion 1.3.0 or newer, and nothing else.

Packs like this normally want OptiFine, or Continuity, and on NeoForge they ask you to stack Sinytra Connector and a compatibility layer on top. Those chains break often, and on the newest versions some of those mods do not exist at all.

Fusion is one mod covering Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. No Sodium, no Indium, no Fabric API, no bridge mods. Install Fusion, drop the pack in, done.

What it covers

135 blocks. Every vanilla ore including the deepslate and Nether ones, all 64 blocks from Seamless Ores, Create's zinc, every ore from Mythic Upgrades, and every ore from Mythic Metals on the versions that mod supports.

Ancient debris glows as a whole block rather than getting an outline, because its texture is its own artwork rather than stone with ore blobs painted on it.

Anything you do not have installed is simply skipped, so the pack works on its own with no mods beyond Fusion.

One file, every version

There is a single download per style, covering Minecraft 1.21 and up. The pack contains no code, so one file serves every version in that range, and blocks that do not exist on yours are skipped along with the mods you do not have.

Ore connects across different stones

An iron vein running out of stone and into granite is two completely different blocks as far as the game is concerned, and most connected texture packs can only join a block to itself. That leaves a hard line down the middle of the vein.

Here they count as one ore body and share a single outline, in all three dimensions. Ore stacked above and below joins up exactly like ore beside it.

It does not overwrite your other packs

The glow is added as a layer on top of each ore rather than replacing its texture, so every ore keeps its own artwork and anything else you have installed still shows through underneath.

Small

121 KB for the bordered version, covering 135 blocks. Each ore ships as a single image, where comparable packs use thousands of files for the same result.

Common questions

Do I need the Seamless Ores mod? No. All vanilla ores are covered on their own. The mod adds 64 more blocks for the pack to cover, and is what lets ore connect across different host stones.

Can I use it with OptiFine or Continuity? No, this pack is built for Fusion. Fusion covers every loader those two do, and more.

Can I use it on an older version? 1.20.x works, but on Fabric there you also need Indium, and thin dark lines can flicker on ore faces. That is a rendering quirk of that version rather than the pack. Older than 1.20 the pack loads but is not supported.

Does it work with shaders? Yes.

Can I put it in a modpack? Please ask first.
