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.
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.
