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/.
