X Ray (no cheats)
by BizCub
Players who want to locate ores faster can use X Ray (no cheats), which lets a filled map reveal valuable resources, structures and objects through solid blocks.
What it does
Holding a filled map in either hand turns on the view, and the mod then shows ores, structures and other objects behind ordinary blocks. Activation runs automatically and needs no extra configuration. A command disables the mod temporarily, and a chat message reports its current status afterwards.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files covering 1.16.2 – 26.3 in 38 release versions, and the latest file for every loader is 1.1.1 for 26.3, dated 2026-08-14. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Fabric API is required on the Fabric loader. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Visible ores
Valuable resources show through blocks, so a player can find ore veins without digging through the rock first.
Structure and object view
Structures and other objects are highlighted behind terrain, which helps locate points of interest.
Map-based activation
The view turns on while a filled map is held in either hand, with no separate settings to change.
