This texture pack adds glowing (emissive) ores to Minecraft, making them easier to see in caves—no mods required, not even OptiFine or Continuity!
Most emissive ore packs rely on core shaders, which can break in future versions and don't work with Sodium. Instead, this pack takes advantage of Minecraft 1.21.2+'s emissive block model support, ensuring better stability and full Sodium compatibility.
It also support nether ores (ancient debris, nether quartz, nether gold and gilded blackstone)
Optimizations
I've optimized this pack as much as possible to maximize performance:
- Cullface – Doesn't render faces covered by other blocks.
- Hidden Faces – Makes invisible any faces blocked by other parts of the model (e.g., the back of the glowing ore).
- Minimal Elements – Uses as few model elements as possible.
- Minified Models – Removes unnecessary spaces and characters, reducing file size by around 100%.
- Custom Textures – Uses unique glowing ore textures so the game doesn't have to search through multiple texture libraries.
These optimizations provide a massive performance boost, especially in areas with many blocks!
Features
- Completely Vanilla – Works in pure Vanilla Minecraft, no mods needed!
- Sodium Compatible – Fully works with Sodium, so you don't have to give up your favorite optimization mod.
- No Incompatibilities – Compatible with all mods and resource packs unless they drastically change item models.
- Optimized – Tested for performance impact and has little to none!
Enjoy!
