Description from the author on Modrinth

Overview

Adds emissive ore textures to 314 mods and vanilla, no other resource pack supports as many! Updates add additional mod support, requests are welcome :)

My vision

I plan to add support for as many mods as possible, so you can use it in almost all modpacks. I have designed this resource pack to be highly compatible with different mod versions.

If you notice any ores from the supported mods don't glow or use outdated textures, then please leave a comment with the mod name, mod loader and minecraft version you are using.

Glowing Emissive Ores Definitive Edition:

Check out the mod version of this resource pack, It's optimized to load only the assets needed for your installed mods, drastically reducing load times compared with this resource pack version. It also has an in-game config for adjusting the brightness or disabling individual ores and doesn't require any 3rd party emissive mods.
