Glowing Emissive Ores Definitive Edition
by DeftestHawk
Glowing Emissive Ores Definitive Edition gives ores over 300 mods the emissive glow that vanilla ores already have, so they stay visible in dark caves.
What it does
Ores from more than 300 mods are made emissive by default, and the mod ships overrides for supported mods so the glow works without manual setup. An in-game config screen adjusts the brightness and turns off the effect for individual ores, which lets a player keep the look they want.
The mod relies on a third-party emissive mod that must also be installed. Its author states the design aims for high compatibility across different mod versions and that support for more mods is planned, so most modpacks can use it. If an ore from a supported mod does not glow, the author asks for a comment so outdated textures can be updated.
Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the newest build targeting 26.3. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Emissive ores from many mods
Ores added by more than 300 mods are made to glow, matching the light level of vanilla ores in dark areas.
In-game brightness setting
A config option sets how bright the emissive ores appear, so players can pick a level that suits their textures.
Per-ore disabling
Individual ores can be switched off in the config, leaving their default texture unchanged.
Overrides for supported mods
Built-in overrides give supported mods emissive ores by default, which can be tweaked afterward if needed.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who run large modpacks with many ore-adding mods and want those ores to stand out underground. Anyone using a mod that adds ores without a glow can use this mod alongside the required emissive mod.
How it compares
Glowing Ores Universal - Emissive Ores for ALL Mods is client-side only, published for Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1, and is not open source under All rights reserved. Glowing Trims is also client-side only, with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files for 1.20.1 – 26.3 under the MIT License, which is not open source either. Simple Glowing is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.13.1 – 26.3 with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, but it is server required with client optional.
