Latest release on GitHub

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!

Fixes

  • Fixed the pack not working because I forgot to copy something

Features

  • Added compatibility with deepslate ores
  • Added a ore bordered pack (as mentioned above)

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).
