Frequently asked questions

Do I need to enable the resource pack or does it work automatically?
You need to activate the Ore Grids Resource Pack in your resource packs menu—it won't apply until you move it to your active packs list and select it. Once activated, the ore outlines will appear immediately on all ores in your world.
Will this work with modded ores or just vanilla ores?
Ore Grids is designed to add outlines to both vanilla and modded ores, making it useful across different mod setups. However, compatibility depends on how the mod textures are structured—most common ore mods work well with it.
Does the outline make ores look weird or too different from vanilla?
The outlines are subtle and designed to maintain the vanilla aesthetic while just adding clarity; they don't drastically change the ore appearance. The goal is improved visibility without making the game look heavily modified.
Can I use this with other resource packs at the same time?
Yes, but resource pack priority matters—place Ore Grids above other packs in your list if you want its outlines to take effect, or below if you prefer another pack's ore textures to override it. You may need to test the order to get your preferred look.
