How to Troubleshoot Missing Glow Effects on Ores

Verifying Mod Dependencies

If you have loaded the resource pack into your game but notice that ore blocks do not emit any light or look dull in dark caves, the issue usually stems from missing background requirements. The resource pack requires emissive texture mods such as Continuity, NeoContinuity, or MoreMcmeta to function properly. Confirm that your mod loader has one of these compatible texture handlers enabled alongside your resource pack. If no emissive mod is installed, the game cannot process the glow properties mapped onto the mineral textures.

Checking Resource Pack Priority and Shaders

Next, return to your resource packs menu and check the load order. Make sure the Glowing Ores Create Vanilla Ice & Fire & More Resource Pack is placed above the default vanilla textures and any other conflicting resource packs to prevent visual overrides. If your ores still fail to shine, inspect your video settings. The pack pairs cleanly with compatible shaderpacks to produce soft ambient lighting on glowing blocks; ensure your shader settings allow emissive rendering. Once these settings are aligned, return to a deep underground cave system to confirm that vanilla and modded mineral veins are successfully illuminating the stone and deepslate walls.
