Using Ore Outlines with Shader Packs

Shader Compatibility

Better Ores Outlines is designed to work alongside shader packs without conflicts. When shaders are active, the ore outlines become even more visually striking, with enhanced glow effects and better color separation from the surrounding environment.

Enhanced Visibility with Shaders

Shader packs add lighting and shadow effects that make the colored ore borders pop even more dramatically. The combination creates a clearer visual distinction between ore and stone, improving spotting speed in complex underground environments.

The outlines remain lightweight and don't cause performance drops even when paired with demanding shader packs. Your frame rate stays stable while gaining the visual benefits of both the resource pack and shader effects.

Recommended Setup

If you use shaders, the ore outlines become your primary ore-detection tool. The enhanced glow makes scanning large cave systems faster and more reliable. You'll spot resources from greater distances, reducing the need to explore as thoroughly.

Test your shader and resource pack combination in a test world first to see how the outline colors appear with your specific shader settings. Different shaders may render the borders slightly differently, so adjust your mining strategy based on what you see.
