✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 180 endorsements and over 6,800 downloads.
- Solves the real problem of squinting at dark cave walls for ore.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says, nothing more.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the Light Placer mod, so it's not a standalone drop-in.
- Glowing ores might break immersion for players who prefer a more realistic look.
- Potential compatibility issues with other visual overhauls that alter ore textures or lighting.
For miners who are tired of missing ore veins in dark caves and want a simple visual aid. Also for players who already use Light Placer and want to extend its functionality. Skip if you prefer a realistic, non-glowing aesthetic or if you don't want to install extra dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Light Placer installed and working before adding this mod, otherwise the glowing effect won't appear.
- If you're using a mod manager, check for conflicts with other visual mods that might override ore textures.
- Test in a dark cave to see the glow effect clearly—if it's too bright, look for config options in Light Placer to adjust.
