About this project
What does OreHighlighter+ add?
✨ OreHighlighter
OreHighlighter is a modern and lightweight utility for Minecraft that helps you locate valuable resources by highlighting them with a sleek, customizable colored outline. It's more than just a mining tool—it's your visual guide in the depths of the underground.
🚫 It's NOT an X-Ray
It is important to understand the distinction:
- Traditional X-Ray makes blocks invisible, breaking immersion and turning the world into a "wireframe mesh."
- OreHighlighter works differently. It leaves the world intact, delicately highlighting specific blocks through obstacles. You still see the cave structures and feel the game's atmosphere, but you know exactly where the treasures are hidden.
🛠 How It Works
The mod scans the area around the player (configurable range) to detect ore blocks. Instead of modifying world transparency, it uses modern rendering techniques (ESP — Extra Sensory Perception) to draw:
- Block Outlines (adjustable thickness).
- Block Fills (adjustable opacity).
This allows you to visually "pull" the ore out of the stone without disrupting the core Minecraft graphics.
🎯 Why Use It?
- Save Time: Spend your time crafting and building instead of grinding through endless tunnels.
- Accessibility: Helps players who have difficulty distinguishing small details or ore textures in low-light environments.
- Aesthetics: With Rainbow Mode and deep color customization, finding ores becomes a beautiful visual experience.
💎 Key Features
- 🌈 Rainbow Mode: Smoothly cycle through colors for all highlighted blocks.
- 🎨 Full Customization: Assign unique colors to every type of ore individually.
- 📏 Adjustable Range: From 10 to 128 blocks—find your perfect balance between visibility and performance.
- 🖌 Rendering Styles:
- Toggle outlines on/off.
- Adjust line thickness.
- Toggle soft internal block fills.
- ⚙️ All Ores Supported: From Coal to Ancient Debris.
