Better Ores 3D
Transform Your Mining Experience
The Better Ores 3D resource pack completely revolutionizes your mining adventures inside the game! Mineral blocks now feature realistic depth and internal illumination, creating stunning visual effects within caves. Every discovery genuinely shines - in the most literal sense!
Native Support in New Versions
Players on version 1.21.2 and newer are particularly fortunate - the resource pack works seamlessly in vanilla Minecraft without requiring additional mods!
Solution for Older Versions
If you're playing on versions prior to 1.21.2, you'll need to install additional mods for proper functionality:
- OptiFine or Continuity (if you prefer Sodium)
IMPORTANT: For OptiFine, ensure you enable the setting: Video Settings → Quality → Emissive Textures: ON
WITHOUT THESE MODS AND SETTINGS THE RESOURCE PACK WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY!
Technical note: For Continuity with Sodium version 0.5.X and below, Indium will also be required. It's not needed for Sodium 0.6+.
Special Style-Specific Editions
There are versions of Better Ores 3D specially crafted for popular resource packs:
Whimscape x Better Ores 3D - Energetic and playful design designed to match Whimscape's unique aesthetic
