Finding Diamonds, Caves, and Dungeons in the Overworld

Spotting Highlighted Ores Through Terrain

Equip your pickaxe, torches, and food, then head underground to begin your mining run. With Elysium X Ray active, valuable ores light up directly through solid dirt, stone, and deepslate blocks. As you dig a main tunnel, pan your camera slowly across the walls, ceiling, and floor to scan the surrounding rock. Highlighted diamonds and rare materials stand out clearly through the terrain, letting you tunnel directly to veins instead of digging blind branch-mining grids. Because default vanilla lighting remains intact, watch your step so you do not dig straight down into dark drops or lava.

Locating Caves, Ravines, and Monster Spawners

Beyond isolated ore veins, the shader helps you map out underground features before you break into them. Peer through stone and deepslate to spot the open layouts of hidden cave systems and ravines, which frequently hold exposed resources along their walls. While scanning, watch for lit-up monster spawners to locate underground dungeons in seconds. Once you spot a spawner through solid blocks, dig toward the room from the side so you can rush in with torches, disable spawns, and claim the loot chests.
