XRAYVision Resource Pack FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I activate XRAYVision after installing it?
XRAYVision works automatically once applied to your resource pack folder—no commands or keybinds needed. Simply select it in your resource packs menu and it will make stone, dirt, and other terrain blocks transparent immediately.
Why can't I see ores even with XRAYVision enabled?
Make sure XRAYVision is actually selected and active in your resource packs list (it should appear in the right column). If it's still not working, try moving it to the top of your pack order, as other packs may be overriding its textures.
Does XRAYVision work in the Nether?
Yes, XRAYVision makes netherrack and other Nether terrain transparent just like the Overworld, making ancient debris and other ores stand out clearly against the invisible background.
Can I use XRAYVision with other resource packs?
You can use it alongside other packs, but place XRAYVision higher in your resource pack list so its transparency effects take priority and don't get overridden by conflicting textures.
Does XRAYVision affect performance or lag?
No, XRAYVision is a lightweight texture pack with no code or mods running—it only changes how blocks look and has minimal impact on frame rate.
Will XRAYVision get me banned on multiplayer servers?
Many servers consider XRAYVision cheating and ban players using it; check your server's rules first. Single-player and private servers are safe, but public multiplayer servers typically prohibit it.
Can I see through water and lava with XRAYVision?
No, water and lava remain opaque, but you can still see ore and structures through transparent stone and dirt, making it easier to spot hazards before you dig into them.
Does XRAYVision show player bases and chests?
XRAYVision makes terrain transparent so you can see underground structures, but chests and other containers remain visible as normal blocks—you'll spot them once the surrounding stone is clear.
What blocks does XRAYVision make invisible?
Stone, deepslate, dirt, grass, leaves, logs, and other common natural terrain blocks become transparent, while all ore blocks, ores, and valuable resources stay fully visible.
Can I toggle XRAYVision on and off without restarting?
Yes, you can disable it by unchecking it in your resource packs menu and reloading your world, or switch between it and other packs without restarting the game.
