X-Ray Resource Pack FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on X-Ray mode?
X-Ray Resource Pack works automatically once installed—just load it in your resource packs menu and it will make common blocks transparent. You don't need to toggle anything; the effect is always active while the pack is enabled.
Which blocks does X-Ray make invisible?
The pack primarily makes dirt, stone, deepslate, and other common filler blocks transparent so you can see through them. Valuable ores like diamond, gold, and iron remain visible and highlighted.
Does X-Ray work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, X-Ray works in multiplayer since it's a client-side resource pack that only changes what you see. However, many servers consider X-Ray unfair and may ban players for using it, so check your server's rules first.
Can I customize which blocks are transparent?
You can edit the resource pack files to make different blocks transparent or visible, but this requires manually modifying the texture files in the pack folder. Most players use the pack as-is without customization.
Does X-Ray slow down my game?
X-Ray has minimal performance impact since it only changes textures and doesn't add new code or entities. You should see no noticeable FPS drop compared to playing without it.
Why can't I see lava or water with X-Ray?
Lava and water are kept visible by default so you don't accidentally walk into them while mining. This protects you from drowning or burning while you're focused on finding ores.
Does X-Ray work with other resource packs?
X-Ray can conflict with other packs that modify the same textures, so load it last in your resource pack list to ensure it takes priority. If you want features from another pack, you may need to manually merge the files.
Can I use X-Ray in Creative mode?
Yes, X-Ray works in Creative mode, though it's less useful since you can already access any block instantly. It's mainly designed for Survival mode mining.
How do I spot caves with X-Ray?
Caves appear as empty dark spaces when you look through transparent blocks from above or the side. Look for irregular voids in the stone grid—these are cave systems you can explore.
Does X-Ray show mob spawners clearly?
Monster spawners are visible as distinct cage-like structures when surrounding blocks are transparent, making them easy to spot before you accidentally trigger them. This lets you prepare defenses or avoid dangerous areas.
