How to Mine and Identify Hidden Ores and Bedrock

Because the DonutSMP HugoSMP Anti Leak Texturepack changes sensitive blocks into standard terrain textures to protect your coordinates, normal visual cues for mining and depth-checking are disabled while the pack is turned on. However, all normal block behaviors remain completely intact.

Telling Bedrock Apart from Deepslate

When digging at the bottom of the world, bedrock is disguised to look like regular deepslate so viewers cannot read your bedrock pattern or guess your exact depth.

1. Watch your mining animation when swinging your pickaxe at the floor. If a deepslate-looking block does not show cracking stages and cannot be broken, it is disguised bedrock.

2. Press F3 when you are not recording or streaming to check the Targeted Block readout on the right side of the debug screen, which will still identify the block as bedrock.

Finding Disguised Ores

While the pack is active, coal, iron, copper, gold, redstone, lapis, emerald, and diamond ores look like normal stone or deepslate, and quartz and nether gold look like plain netherrack.

• Redstone Ore: Step on or right-click suspect stone blocks; redstone ore still keeps its normal behavior and will light up and emit particles when disturbed.
• Mining Trips: Because other ores have no visual differences from surrounding stone, open Options > Resource Packs and disable the Anti Leak pack whenever you are mining off-stream in uncompromised tunnels.
