Description from the author on Modrinth

Aura Ores

Simple Glowing Ores


What is this?

Aura Ores is a resource pack that adds an emissive glow to ores. It keeps the standard Vanilla textures but makes them visible in the dark, making mining easier without needing to place torches everywhere.


Requirements

Important: For the ores to glow, you must install a mod that supports connected/emissive textures. Without these, the pack will look like default Minecraft.

Mod Loader · Requirement
Fabric · Continuity (Recommended) or OptiFabric
Forge / Neo · OptiFine

Note: If using Continuity, make sure "Emissive Textures" is enabled in the resource pack settings.

Features

Feature · Description
High Visibility · Spot Diamonds, Gold, and Iron easily in the dark.
Vanilla Style · Retains the original ore textures; only the colored parts glow.
Lightweight · Simple texture changes with minimal performance impact.
