Vibrant Fractal Rays renders its mini-block geometry underground just as it does on overworld terrain. Because it keeps standard lighting clear and preserves vanilla block textures, you can mine and explore caves without losing track of hazards or ores.
Navigating Cave Terrain
1. Pack your normal supply of torches or lanterns before heading underground.
2. Place light sources along cave walls as you descend; standard lighting stays clear across the fractal surfaces, keeping lit tunnels easy to read.
3. Watch floor edges carefully around ravines, lava pools, and ledges, since every stone and deepslate block renders as a cluster of smaller mini-blocks rather than a plain flat cube.
Spotting Ores and Underground Blocks
Even though every cave surface carries a geometric fractal pattern, the shader does not alter vanilla block textures. You can rely on familiar visual cues while mining:
- Look for the standard colors and ore patterns of coal, iron, copper, gold, and diamond showing directly on the mini-block clusters.
- Identify gravel and sand patches on cave ceilings by their normal vanilla colors before breaking blocks underneath them.
- If you want to double-check a dark ledge or block boundary while caving, open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs to toggle the shader off momentarily and re-enable it afterward.
