Mining Underground Under Psychedelic Lighting

Identifying Blocks Through Altered Palettes

Crucify Shaders replaces normal block tones with bright, weird, and scary color variations. Under psychedelic coloring, stone, dirt, gravel, and ore blocks may no longer look like their vanilla counterparts.

• Inspect Block Outlines: Instead of relying purely on color memory, aim your crosshair directly at a block to read its selection box and examine its pattern.
• Use Frequent Torches: Place torches regularly on walls or floors. Tricky and unnatural lighting can create deep contrast pockets that conceal hazards like sudden drops or lava pools.
• Dig Systematic Shafts: Stick to strict strip-mining or branch-mining patterns (such as straight 2x1 tunnels) rather than spelunking through chaotic natural caverns where warping makes navigation difficult.

Managing Underground Hazards

Mining in a shifting environment increases the risk of accidents:

1. Keep a water bucket on your hotbar at all times to quickly extinguish unexpected lava.

2. Listen closely for ambient audio cues—such as running water, lava bubbling, or gravel falling—since altered visuals make these hazards harder to spot quickly.

3. Block off abandoned shafts with solid blocks so you do not accidentally re-enter mined corridors while disoriented.
