Gray’s Veins: Customizable Ore Visuals
by GrayscaleRGB
Gray's Veins: Customizable Ore Visuals is a Fabric client mod that changes how ore blocks look, with outlines, animated textures, glow and a per-ore setup.
What it does
Ore visibility is adjusted on the client through a set of toggles. Outlines, animated ore textures and glow-style textures can each be switched on or off, and a glow strength slider controls how bright the glowing effect is. One global setup can cover every supported ore, or the custom mode can adjust each ore individually, with Gold Ore and Nether Gold Ore receiving their own separate settings. Ancient Debris has an extra blue style that makes it easier to spot, and the mod forces glow on when that style is chosen.
The mod generates its textures as a resource pack based on the chosen settings. The config screen warns when that generated pack is not enabled. The mod requires Continuity, Fabric API and Mod Menu. Continuity handles the connected textures, glow and emissive effects. After installing it, its built-in resource packs must be enabled in Minecraft's Resource Packs menu, or outlines and glow will not show correctly. Gray's Veins is published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.1 – 26.1.2, and is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features
Ore outlines and animation
Ore blocks can show outlines, animated textures and a glow effect, each controlled separately.
Global and custom modes
Global mode applies one setup to every supported ore, and custom mode sets each ore individually.
Blue Netherite style
Ancient Debris can use a blue visual style that stands out in the stone, and that style turns glow on.
Glow strength slider
A slider sets how strong the glow effect is, so the brightness can be lowered or raised.

How it compares
Toggleable Textures is a Fabric client-side mod with all rights reserved and is published for 1.20.1 – 26.3, so it covers a wider version range than Gray's Veins. VisualParticles Better is also a Fabric client-side mod, released under the MIT License and open source, for 1.21.4 – 26.1.2. Simple Vein Mining is server-side only and covers only 26.1.2, so it changes mining rather than ore visibility.
