About
New Glowing Ores is a resource pack designed to make ores easier to spot by adding a glow effect to them, including raw ore blocks and ancient debris. Choose the Default version for glowing ores alone, or the Border version for glowing ores with connected outlines that help distinguish ore blocks. The pack also covers deepslate diamond, emerald, iron and lapis ores, and coal is made brighter for visibility. Mod support includes Create, Werewolves and Mekanism in the Border version, and Cobblemon, Oh The Biomes You'll Go and Infernal Expansion in the Default version. Glowing textures and connected borders require a compatible rendering mod: OptiFine for the default pack with vanilla or Forge, or Continuity for Fabric; the Border version requires Continuity.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.
Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.5 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
Privacy
Sends nothing
A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content declared.
