Glowing, ore textures in Minecraft's familiar 16x style.
Argon's Glowing Ores makes the valuable parts of vanilla ore blocks stay bright in dark areas. The surrounding stone and deepslate keep their natural appearance, so ores are easier to notice while mining without changing gameplay.
Use OptiFine or a compatible emissive-texture mod to see the glow. Connected-texture support is needed for the connected designs. The pack does not turn ore blocks into real light sources.
