Distinct Ores

Distinct Ores

Each ore keeps its vanilla color but gains a unique geometric vein shape (coal dots, iron diagonal, copper X, gold cross, redstone ring, lapis triangle, diamond rhombus, emerald square) so you can tell them apart at a glance, even in low light.

Distinct Ores

Vanilla ores mostly differ by color, which is a problem in dim light, deep caves, or for color-blind players. Distinct Ores gives every ore its own geometric vein shape, so you can identify it at a glance even when you can't see the color clearly.

What the pack changes

  • Coal - clusters of dots
  • Iron - diagonal stripe
  • Copper - large "X" (copper + green patina)
  • Gold - cross "+"
  • Redstone - ring
  • Lapis - triangle (pyramid)
  • Diamond - rhombus
  • Emerald - square

Details

  • Covers all 16 ore blocks - both the stone and deepslate variant of each ore.
  • 16x resolution, matches the vanilla style (keeps the original ore colors).
  • Pure resource pack - no mods, no Fabric, just drop it into resourcepacks/.

Supported versions

Minecraft Java 1.21.8 - 1.21.10.
