Emissive Ores is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is v1.1.0, published on Jan 14, 2023.
Lots of changes that I actually considered making this v2.0.0, but decided against it.
There's a new fork with ore borders - this will be on Modrinth in 24-48 hours, but for now you can download it here.
Thanks to a friend of mine for helping me out with some of these fixes and features!

THIS WILL NOT WORK ON 1.19.3! Continuity has not yet ported emissive textures and OptiFine has not released so this will not have any function. I will release a new update once Continuity ports emissives.
Before that: v1.0.0 (Sep 21, 2022).
Emissive Ores does what it says - changes ores to be emissive! This pack requires OptiFine, Continuity or Fabulously Optimized (recommended).

Written by osfanbuff63. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Resource Packs, then Open Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder and go back to the game.
Move Emissive Ores to the right-hand list and click Done.
It is made for Minecraft 1.19 – 1.21. On other versions Minecraft marks it as incompatible, but it often still works.
