Requires the Continuity mod to work!
This resource pack makes all ores (excluding coal) glow with a clean outline, making them much easier to spot while mining. It was created for use with shaders, which often make caves darker and reduce ore visibility. This pack solves that by improving contrast without breaking immersion.
In addition to the glow effect, ores are given a clean connecting border that improves readability and helps you notice veins more easily. This also makes ores stand out when they’re partially hidden in lava, behind blocks, or in other difficult to see areas.
