Ores 3D Addon Mcpe FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Will using Ores 3d Addon disable achievements in my survival world?
No, this add-on keeps your game achievements fully active. Because it only changes block models and visual effects without altering gameplay behavior, you can use it in pure survival worlds.
Do I need to turn on experimental toggles for the 3D ores to work?
No, Ores 3d Addon runs without needing any experimental settings turned on. You can apply it directly to a standard world without modifying your world settings.
Which ores get the new 3D models and glowing effects?
The add-on gives all ores custom 3D block models, including iron, copper, lapis lazuli, gold, and diamond. Valuable materials also receive a bright glowing effect in colors like blue, red, and gold so they stand out in dark caves.
Why are my ores still flat and not glowing after activating the pack?
If you are using other resource packs, another pack might be overriding the ore textures. Move Ores 3d Addon to the very top of your active resource pack list in your settings so its 3D models take priority.
Can I use Ores 3d Addon with my other add-ons and texture packs?
Yes, it works alongside your other add-ons and resource packs. Just make sure Ores 3d Addon is placed higher in the load order than any general texture pack so the 3D ore shapes are not overwritten.
Do the glowing ores actually light up caves and stop mobs from spawning?
No, the bright glowing effect is purely visual to help you spot resources hidden inside the stone. It does not change the actual block light level, so you still need to place torches to prevent hostile mobs from spawning.
How do I activate the 3D ores on an existing world?
Open your world settings before loading in, go to the Resource Packs tab, and activate Ores 3d Addon. You can also apply it in your Global Resources menu so it works across all worlds and servers you join.
Does this add-on change how many diamonds or gold drop when I mine them?
No, the add-on only changes the visual look of the blocks to give them 3D shapes and glowing effects. Mining speed, tool requirements, and item drop rates remain completely vanilla.
Does the 3D shape make the ore hitbox bigger or stop me from walking past it?
No, the custom 3D shapes are visual models only and do not change the physical hitbox of the block. You can walk past and mine around the protruding 3D parts just like normal flat blocks.
Can I use Ores 3d Addon on multiplayer realms or servers?
Yes, as long as the server or realm does not force you to use a locked resource pack. Activate Ores 3d Addon in your main settings under Global Resources before joining the server.
