Every ore block gets a bright, color-coded border. On a mining trip you can pick out valuable blocks at a glance instead of studying every patch of wall.
Scanning caves and ravines
1. Bring torches and light the area as you normally would. The outlines stand out even in low light, so you can spot ore beyond your torchlight.
2. When you enter a large cavern or ravine, stop and sweep your view slowly across the walls and ceiling. Look for colored frames rather than ore specks.
3. Learn which border color goes with which ore by checking blocks you already recognize. Copper, iron, gold, coal, lapis, redstone, emerald and diamond each get their own distinct outline.
4. Mine toward the outlined blocks first and skip bare stretches of stone.
Deepslate levels
- Deepslate ore veins carry the same vivid borders. Diamond, gold and other deep ores stand out clearly against dark deepslate walls.
- Outlines on neighboring blocks make whole veins easy to read. You can see how far a deposit extends before you start digging.
A quick routine
- Branch mining: glance down each tunnel side for color before you move forward.
- Caving: check high ledges and ceilings, where ore is easy to miss without an outline.
Only ore textures change, so everything else still looks like standard Faithful 64x.
