Better Visible Resources
Hard to find usable crafting materials between all the junk? Get this mod! I changed the textures to be more bright and visible.
I added as much items as possible but let me know which ones are missing!
Also check out my other mod: Better Visible Valuables for items like the creditstick and digipic.

WIP: Some materials are easy to change, but some (like liquid jars) are tricky to really make them bright. Some items probably use general textures like metal, or they share textures with other models because I can't find every texture by just looking through the files. To actually find what textures the models use or to make them glow, I need to be able to open the models but that's not possible yet.
