I enabled the pack but my ores look normal. Why aren't the outlines showing?
Check the load order in the resource pack menu. Faithful Ore Outlines must sit above Faithful 64x or whatever base pack you use. If it sits below, the base pack's ore textures override the outlined ones.
Do I need Faithful 64x for this pack to work?
The outlines are drawn on Faithful 64x-style ore textures, so the pack is designed to sit on top of Faithful 64x and blends in best there. You can also put it above another base pack, but your ores will then show the Faithful 64x art with outlines while the rest of the world uses your other pack's style.
Does this pack change stone, deepslate or any other blocks?
No. It only modifies ore textures. Stone, deepslate, netherrack and every other block keep the look of the pack loaded underneath it.
Is this an X-ray pack? Can I see ores through walls?
No. It only adds colored borders to ore textures, so you still need to see an ore's exposed face to spot it. It makes visible ores stand out in dark caves and ravines but does not reveal anything hidden inside solid rock.
Do I need to install this on the server too?
No. It's a resource pack, so it runs entirely on your own client. Other players on the server won't see the outlines unless they load the pack themselves.
Does it work with dark shader packs?
Yes. Keeping ores visible under heavy shader lighting is one of its main purposes. The bright, high-contrast borders keep ores easy to pick out even when shaders make caves very dark.
Which ores get outlines? Are deepslate and Nether ores included?
The pack outlines coal, iron, copper, gold, redstone, lapis lazuli, diamond and emerald ores, including their deepslate variants. It also covers Nether quartz and Nether gold ore in netherrack.
How do I tell different ores apart at a distance?
The borders are color-coded, so each ore type gets its own distinct outline color. Once you learn which color matches which ore, you can tell a diamond vein from redstone or lapis before you walk up to it.
I use another pack that also changes ore textures. Which one wins?
Whichever pack is higher in the resource pack list controls the ore textures. Put Faithful Ore Outlines above the other pack if you want the outlined ores, or below it if you prefer the other pack's ores.
Will this pack hurt my FPS?
The pack only swaps out ore textures, so it adds very little on top of the 64x base pack you're already running. If you're seeing performance problems, the high-resolution base pack or your shaders are the more likely cause.
