Screenshot 1 of 3. Rows of glowing ore blocks in many colors shown at night in a dark scene, from the Glowing Ores pack.
Glowing Ores is a Bedrock-only texture pack that makes every ore emit a gentle glow, so veins stand out in dark caves without torches or night vision. It is a 16x pack in a simplistic style that keeps the original look of the blocks. As a resource pack, it is switched on per world.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 26.50.

The pack ships with subpacks, so you choose how loud the glow should be.
- Outlined Ores adds a clean outline around each ore for better visibility.
- Outlined Ores Glow+ is the outlined look with a stronger glow.
- No Outline Ores keeps the normal ore shape and adds a smooth glow.
- Animated Glowing Ores adds a moving glow for a more immersive feel.

What it changes and what it leaves alone
Only ores are touched. The creator states that other blocks are unaffected, that performance is not hurt, and that the pack works smoothly with most vanilla-style texture packs. The result is a practical mining aid more than a full restyle.

Questions about Glowing Ores.
4 questions
Does Glowing Ores work without Vibrant Visuals?
No. The creator states that Vibrant Visuals must be turned on, otherwise the pack will not work properly. If the ores show no glow after you activate the pack in your world, confirm that setting before trying anything else.
Which Glowing Ores subpack has the strongest glow?
Outlined Ores Glow+ is described as the outlined style with a stronger glow effect. If you prefer the ores to keep their normal shape, No Outline Ores adds a smooth glow instead, and Animated Glowing Ores gives a moving glow.
Is Glowing Ores available for Java Edition?
No. This is a Bedrock pack distributed as an .mcpack file, and Java Edition cannot load Bedrock add-ons or resource packs. Players on Java need a pack built in the Java format.
Does Glowing Ores affect performance or other blocks?
The creator states that the pack only changes ores, does not affect other blocks, and does not hurt performance. It is also said to work smoothly alongside most vanilla-style texture packs.
