Frequently asked questions

Why are some ores still hard to see even with the resource pack?
Ore visibility depends on your brightness settings and surrounding stone type. Try adjusting your game brightness or gamma settings, and remember that ores in deepslate will have different contrast than ores in regular stone.
Does ore highlighter work in the nether?
Yes, the pack highlights Nether ores with the same enhanced textures as Overworld ores, making them stand out against netherrack and blackstone.
Can I use this with other resource packs?
You can layer Ore Highlighter with other packs, but if both packs modify ore textures, whichever pack is loaded last in your resource pack list will take priority.
Do highlighted ores give more drops or experience?
No, the pack only changes how ores look visually—it doesn't affect drop rates, experience rewards, or any game mechanics.
Will ore highlighter affect my fps?
The pack has minimal performance impact since it only replaces textures without adding new models or effects.
How do I tell different ore types apart with the highlighting?
Each ore type has a distinct highlighted color and texture pattern, which is explained in the guide on distinguishing between different ore types.
Does this work in the end dimension?
The pack is designed for Overworld and Nether ores only, so it won't affect the End dimension.
Can I adjust how bright or intense the highlighting is?
The highlighting intensity is built into the pack textures, but you can modify your Minecraft brightness or gamma settings to make ores appear more or less prominent overall.
What ores does this pack highlight?
The pack highlights all standard ores found in the Overworld and Nether; check the mod description or screenshots for the complete list of which ores receive enhanced textures.
Do I need to restart Minecraft after installing the pack?
Yes, you'll need to restart Minecraft for the resource pack to load and take effect on your worlds.
