Advanced XRay Mod FAQ

Press the mod's configured keybind (check your Controls settings under the Advanced XRay category) to open the block selection GUI. If nothing happens, the keybind may conflict with another mod, so rebind it in Controls.

Use the toggle keybind to switch the highlight overlay on and off without closing the game. You can also disable it from within the mod's GUI if you prefer clicking over hotkeys.

Only blocks you've added to the active list get highlighted, so open the GUI and enable or add the ores you're looking for. Ores from other mods won't appear until you manually add them.

Open the GUI, use the searchable block list to find the block, and add it to your active list. Once added, it will be highlighted whenever XRay is enabled.

In the GUI's searchable list, modded blocks appear alongside vanilla ones as long as the mod is installed and loaded. Search for the ore by name and add it like any vanilla block.

The GUI has a distance or range setting that controls how far away blocks are highlighted. Lower it to reduce lag and visual clutter, raise it to spot ores farther out.

A large search distance means the mod scans many more blocks each tick, which hurts performance. Reduce the range and trim your active block list to only the ores you actually need.

Yes, the GUI includes a full RGB color selector so you can assign a distinct color to each block. This helps you tell ores apart at a glance when several are highlighted at once.

Many servers consider XRay cheating and will ban you if detected, so only use it in singleplayer or on servers where you have explicit permission. The mod highlights blocks rather than removing them, but that doesn't make it allowed on public servers.

It's built on Forge and works alongside other Forge mods, including ones that add new ores you can add to the list. Very large modpacks may need a lower search distance to keep performance stable.
