Apparent Ores Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why can't I see the glow effect on ores?
Make sure you have the resource pack enabled in your resource pack menu and positioned above any conflicting packs. The glow effect works best in darker environments like caves or deep underground—it may be subtle in bright daylight.
Does this work with other resource packs?
Yes, but pack order matters. Place Apparent Ores above other packs in your resource pack list so its textures take priority. If another pack also modifies ore textures, they may conflict.
Will this resource pack affect my FPS?
The glow effect has minimal performance impact since it only adds luminous outlines to existing ore textures. You may notice a very slight decrease on older hardware, but most modern systems won't be affected.
Can I use this on a multiplayer server?
Yes, resource packs are client-side only, so you can use this on any server without the server needing to install it. Other players won't see the glow effect unless they also have the pack installed.
Does the glow work on all ore types?
The pack applies the glow effect to all standard ores found underground. Deep slate variants and nether ores are also included, making them visible in their respective environments.
How do I turn off the glow for specific ores?
You can edit the resource pack's texture files directly if you want to remove the glow from certain ores, but there's no built-in toggle. Alternatively, you can simply disable the pack when you don't want the effect.
Does this give me an unfair advantage in PvP?
This pack only affects ore visibility, not player detection or other PvP mechanics, so it's generally allowed on most servers. Check your server's rules about resource packs if you're unsure.
Will this work in the Nether and End?
Yes, the pack enhances visibility for ores in all dimensions, including nether ores in the Nether and any ores you might find in the End.
What if the glow is too bright or too dim for me?
You can adjust your brightness/gamma settings in Minecraft to fine-tune how visible the glow appears. If you want to permanently modify the glow intensity, you'll need to edit the resource pack's texture files.
Does this resource pack include any other changes besides ore glow?
No, Apparent Ores focuses solely on making ores glow while keeping all other textures faithful to vanilla Minecraft. It's designed to be a minimal, non-intrusive enhancement.
