Using Glowing Ores to Find Minerals

Spotting Ores in Dark Caves

Pale Shaders makes ores emit their own light underground, creating a natural glow that helps you locate valuable minerals while mining. Instead of relying solely on torchlight, ore deposits will stand out visually in dark cave systems.

This feature is most useful during deep mining expeditions where visibility is poor. The ore glow works alongside your existing light sources rather than replacing them, so torches and other lighting remain effective. The effect maintains vanilla textures while adding a subtle luminance that makes ore veins easier to spot at a glance, reducing the time spent searching through dark stone.
