How to Fix the X-Ray Pack Not Working or Updating In-Game

Sometimes you may activate the X-Ray Texture Pack or change the ore slider, only to load into your world and see normal opaque stone everywhere. This is a common caching issue in Minecraft Bedrock and Pocket Edition that only takes a few steps to clear.

Restarting the Game to Force Textures to Load

The most common reason the X-Ray effect fails to appear is that the game has not fully reloaded its rendering pipeline after you applied the pack.

1. Save and quit your current world so you return to the main title screen.

2. Confirm the X-Ray Texture Pack is sitting in your Active resource packs list.

3. Close the Minecraft application completely—if you are on mobile or console, make sure to swipe the app away or force-quit it rather than just minimizing it.

4. Relaunch Minecraft from scratch and open your world. A full game restart is often required for the X-Ray transparency to take effect.

Changing Slider Modes From the Main Menu

If you try to click the gear icon and move the variation slider while you are already paused inside a world, the game will usually lock the setting or fail to refresh the blocks around you. Always Save and Quit to the main menu first, adjust the X-Ray slider under your world's Resource Pack settings or Global Resources, and then reload the world.
