Ores 3D + is a 3D ores addon for Bedrock Edition by Studio38. It replaces the flat vanilla ores, from coal to ruby, with modelled blocks that jut out of the stone. It ships as a behavior pack and a resource pack, and it runs on Bedrock only.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 26.40 to 26.50.
What it adds
The aim is a deeper mining experience. Veins stand proud of cave walls and cast shadows, so a dark tunnel reads very differently from vanilla. The project also states that it stays fully compatible with achievements.
- 3D stone models for all vanilla ores.
- Glowing ores included.
How to install Ores 3D +

- 2.Create a world or edit an existing one.
