X to Xray
With X to Xray, pressing the X key while playing reveals ores and other blocks through the walls, and the mod is installed on the client.
What it does
The mod adds an x-ray view that a player switches on and off with the X key. While it is active, ores and similar blocks show through the surrounding stone so the player can locate them without digging. The author describes the mod as an x-ray tool that also reveals more than ores.
A config screen, opened from the escape menu or from the mods list, controls how the feature behaves. The author notes that the server side is needed for it to work. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed next to X to Xray. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 40 release versions, 1.16 – 26.3, with snapshot builds included. It is not open source, and All rights reserved applies to the code.
Key features
Toggle with the X key
Pressing X turns the x-ray view on or off, so the player can switch it without opening a menu.
Ore visibility
Ores and other blocks are drawn through the stone around them while the view is active.
Config screen
A config screen, reached from the escape menu, sets how many of the mod's options work.
Server side setting
The author notes that a server-side part is needed, so the server should run the matching build for the feature to function.
