Enabling and Toggling Elysium X Ray While Mining

Activating the Shader Pack in Game

Because Elysium X Ray operates on your graphics pipeline as a shader pack rather than a standard resource pack, you need a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine installed to use it. Load into your world, pause the game, and go to Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs. Select Elysium X Ray Shaders from the list and apply your changes. Because the pack operates smoothly without placing heavy processing loads on your graphics card, turning it on mid-session finishes quickly without bogging down your frame rate.

Exploring Without Losing Vanilla Visuals

Unlike traditional X-ray packs that strip away block textures entirely and force full brightness, Elysium X Ray preserves a clean vanilla visual style along with default lighting and sky colors. You can leave the pack enabled while walking across the surface or lighting up dark tunnels, since you can still judge light levels to prevent hostile mob spawns. When your mining run is finished and you want solid terrain rendering again, return to the Shader Packs menu to turn shaders off, or use your shader loader's toggle shortcut if you have one bound in Controls.
