Choosing Between Vanilla and Modded Versions

Understanding Version Differences

This resource pack offers different versions depending on what mods you already use. The vanilla version works on base Minecraft, while alternative versions exist for players using performance mods like Optifine or Sodium.

Selecting the Right Version

1. Check what you're running — Do you have Optifine, Sodium, Embeddium, or similar performance mods installed?

2. Use vanilla version if you play pure Minecraft without any performance enhancement mods.

3. Use the Optifine-compatible version if you run Optifine for better performance or shader support.

4. Use the Sodium-compatible version if you use Sodium, Lithium, or similar Fabric-based performance mods.

Why Versions Matter

Different mods handle glowing effects differently. Using the wrong version may cause ores to not glow properly, display incorrectly, or create visual conflicts. The pack is designed so each version works seamlessly with its intended setup.

  • Check your mod list before downloading to ensure compatibility.
  • Installing the correct version guarantees the best visual quality and performance.
