Animated Outlined Ores FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the animated ore borders in my world?
Since this is a texture pack, you need to enable it in your Global Resources settings or within the specific Resource Packs tab of your world settings. Make sure it is moved to the active list before loading into your game.
Why are the animated outlines not showing up on my ores?
Another texture pack is likely overriding the ore textures. Open your active resource packs list and move Animated Outlined Ores to the very top of the load order so its borders take priority.
Does this pack work on Deepslate ores in deep caves?
Yes, both standard stone ores and Deepslate ores feature the highlighted animated borders. This makes dark ores like Deepslate Coal and Deepslate Diamond much easier to spot in unlit areas.
Are Nether ores included in the animated borders?
Yes, the pack adds animated outlines to Nether ores as well, helping them stand out against the surrounding terrain.
Does this change the look of crafted mineral blocks too?
Yes, full mineral blocks also receive updated borders alongside the natural default, Deepslate, and Nether ore blocks.
Will enabling Animated Outlined Ores disable achievements in Bedrock Edition?
No, because this operates strictly as a visual texture pack and does not use behavior packs, your world will keep achievements enabled.
Why are the borders on the ores not moving?
If the outlines appear static, check your video settings to ensure that texture animations are turned on, or verify that a performance pack isn't disabling animated block textures.
Can I use this pack on a multiplayer server or Realm?
Yes, as long as the server or Realm does not force a locked resource pack that overrides block textures, you can activate this pack in your personal Global Resources to see the outlines.
Do the ores actually emit light in dark caves?
The pack highlights ores with bright, animated borders to make them noticeable in the dark, but the blocks themselves do not change the game's lighting levels or prevent mob spawning.
Can I use Animated Outlined Ores with other resource packs?
Yes, it is compatible with other packs as long as you place Animated Outlined Ores above them in your active resource pack list so the ore textures are not overwritten.
