Dark shader packs make caves look atmospheric, but they also make ore hard to see. This pack's bright, high-contrast outlines are designed to stay visible under heavy shader lighting, so you don't walk past diamonds in the gloom.
Running it alongside shaders
1. Make sure you have a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine installed. Shaders will not run without one.
2. Open Options > Resource Packs. Place Faithful Ore Outlines above Faithful 64x or your base pack in the Selected column, then click Done.
3. Open Options > Video Settings and go to the Shader Packs screen your loader adds. Select your shader pack there.
4. Load into a world and head into a cave or ravine to test it.
Resource packs and shader packs are chosen in separate menus. Picking a shader does not change your resource pack order, and changing your packs does not turn off your shader.
Getting the most out of it
- Scan cave walls in your peripheral vision. The colored borders show up as sharp lines even where the stone is nearly black.
- In deep caverns with very little light, look for the outline shape rather than the ore's inner texture.
- If a shader still makes everything too dark, raise the in-game Brightness slider in Video Settings. You can also look for a brightness or exposure option in the shader's own settings.
The pack works the same with or without shaders. It just matters most when the lighting is darkest.
