Better Ores 3D✨


Better Ores 3D brings your mining experience to life with stunning 3D ore models and glowing textures! Each mineral block pops out of the stone with depth and light, making cave exploration more immersive and rewarding. Perfect for players who want their resources to shine—literally!


Now in vanilla too!🍃


If you're playing on version 1.21.2 or later, this resource pack is fully compatible with vanilla Minecraft—no mods required!


If you're using a version before 1.21.2⛏️


For versions earlier than 1.21.2, the resource pack requires mod support to work correctly. You can use OptiFine or Continuity if you want to play with Sodium.

If you are using Optifine make sure you have these settings: 
Video Settings > Quality > Emissive Textures : ON

IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITHOUT THESE MODS AND FEATURES!

IMPORTANT: If you're playing with Continuity and Sodium versions 0.5.X or lower, you will also need to add Indium. This is not required for Sodium version 0.6+.


Other Versions Available🧭


Better Ores 3D is also available in special editions made to perfectly match different popular resource packs! Each version is carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the textures, colors, and style of its counterpart.


Mod Compatibility📦


Better Ores 3D also includes built-in support for some popular Minecraft mods!
No extra downloads needed — everything is already included in the main pack.
Feel free to suggest mods you'd like to see supported in the comments, or contact me directly on Discord: marceus_.
