Outlined Ores Resource Pack Wiki & Guide

The outlines are active by default once you apply the resource pack to your world. Simply select the Outlined Ores Resource Pack in your resource pack menu and it will immediately highlight all ores with visible outlines.

The outline brightness is built into the resource pack and cannot be adjusted through in-game settings. If the outlines feel too intense or too subtle, you may need to use a resource pack editor to modify the pack files directly.

Yes, the pack outlines all standard ore blocks including coal, iron, gold, diamond, emerald, lapis, and redstone. Specialty ores added by other mods will only be outlined if those mods are specifically supported by the resource pack.

No, Outlined Ores is a lightweight resource pack that only changes textures and should have minimal impact on performance. The outlines are rendered as part of the standard texture system, so even low-end systems should handle it without issues.

You can layer Outlined Ores with other resource packs, but the order matters—place it lower in your resource pack list if you want its outlines to override other packs' ore textures. If conflicts occur, you may need to choose between packs or manually merge them.

Yes, resource packs are client-side only, so you can use Outlined Ores on any server without needing permission or affecting other players. Only you will see the outlined ores.

Make sure the resource pack is actually enabled in your resource pack settings and ranked above any conflicting packs. If it's enabled and still not working, try removing and re-adding the pack, or check that you're looking at actual ore blocks and not stone.

Yes, the outlines make ores stand out dramatically against stone walls, which is especially helpful in dark caves where ores blend into the background normally. This is one of the main benefits for efficient cave mining.

Most shaders are compatible with Outlined Ores since it only modifies ore textures, but some advanced shaders may override or interact unexpectedly with the outlines. Test it in-game to see if your specific shader setup works well with the pack.

The resource pack applies outlines to all ores uniformly and doesn't have built-in toggle options for individual ore types. To customize which ores are outlined, you would need to edit the resource pack files yourself.
