FAQs
Does this pack change how ores spawn?
No. It only modifies the appearance of ore blocks by adding borders—it doesn’t affect spawn rates or generation.
Will this give me an unfair advantage?
Not really. It enhances visibility but doesn’t reveal hidden ores or use x-ray effects. It’s often allowed on survival and speedrun servers.
Can I use this with shaders?
Yes. It works well alongside most shaders, though border visibility may vary depending on the shader’s lighting effects.
Does it support resource pack layering?
Yes. You can stack it with other texture packs as long as they don’t override ore block textures.
How do I install Ore Borders Resource Pack?
Download the `.zip` file, place it in your `resourcepacks` folder, and enable it through Minecraft’s Resource Packs menu.
