About Outlined Ores

Revolutionize your mining experience with Outlined Ores, the most customizable ore visualization pack available for Minecraft Bedrock Edition. This innovative texture pack transforms ore hunting from a tedious search into an efficient, colorful adventure by adding vibrant outlines to every ore type in the game. With an unprecedented 18 adjustable options, players can choose from 12 different outline colors including static options like red, green, and blue, or dynamic RGB animations that cycle through the spectrum. The pack brilliantly supports both new cave update ore textures and classic ore designs, ensuring compatibility with your preferred aesthetic. Whether you're strip mining at diamond level, exploring massive caves, or hunting for ancient debris in the Nether, these outlined ores dramatically improve visibility without resorting to x-ray cheats, keeping gameplay legitimate while enhancing efficiency.

Key Features

  • 18 total customization options with 12 color choices: red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, pink, purple, RGB static, RGB animated, black, and white
  • Dual texture support for both post-1.17 cave update ores and classic pre-1.17 ore textures
  • Smart outline system that color-codes ores by rarity - diamond blue, gold yellow, iron brown, etc.
  • Animated RGB option creating a rainbow cycling effect for maximum visibility in dark caves
  • Full ore coverage including coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, lapis, emerald, copper, and ancient debris
  • Subpack selection system allowing instant color switching without reloading resources

What Makes This Special

What makes Outlined Ores exceptional is its intelligent approach to ore differentiation through color psychology and visual hierarchy. Unlike simple brightness modifications, this pack adds actual geometric outlines that maintain visibility regardless of surrounding block darkness or shader usage. The RGB animated option is particularly innovative, using a smooth color transition algorithm that ensures ores remain visible even to colorblind players through the movement alone. The pack's border system intelligently adapts to ore cluster shapes, outlining entire veins rather than individual blocks, making it easier to spot ore patterns in cave walls. This technical achievement required custom rendering solutions that work within Bedrock's limitations while maintaining compatibility across all platforms from mobile to next-gen consoles.

Pro Tips

  • Use bright colors (yellow, aqua, white) for dark environments like deepslate mining levels
  • RGB animated mode is excellent for streaming/recording as it creates eye-catching content
  • Combine with night vision potions for ultimate ore visibility in large caves
  • The black outline option works surprisingly well with bright shader packs for a cel-shaded look
