Using Glowing Ores and Exploring the Reworked End

Beyond surface skies and water waves, Dercode Shaders changes how you navigate dark caves and transforms the atmosphere of the End dimension.

Spotting Glowing Ores Underground

Dercode Shaders makes certain blocks and ores glow in the dark, giving you much better visibility while caving without placing torches every few steps.

1. Head into an unlit cave, ravine, or deep underground tunnel with Dercode Shaders active.

2. Lower your reliance on held light or torches for a moment so your eyes adjust to the dark cave walls.

3. Scan exposed stone surfaces—ores and emissive blocks will stand out naturally against dark surroundings.

4. If the glow feels too dim or too bright for your screen, open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs, enter the pack's settings, and look under lighting or emissive block options to tune the brightness.

Experiencing the Reworked End Dimension

Instead of vanilla Minecraft's plain static void, Dercode Shaders overhauls the End with dark lighting and a custom sky.

1. Prepare your gear and enter an End Portal as normal.

2. Once inside the End, look up to view the reworked skybox featuring a large vortex effect overhead.

3. Because the dimension uses darker lighting than vanilla, watch your footing near island edges and use glowing blocks or placed light sources to mark safe paths between End islands.
