Xray -orevision
by GHOST4786
Xray -orevision is a Fabric utility that lets a player see ores through the ground with a key press, using a toggleable X-ray scanner.
What it does
Pressing the X key turns the X-ray scanner on, and ores become visible through solid terrain straight away. Toggle Vision switches the view on and off, so the same key controls it without any menu. The mod is built to provide block transparency and runs on Fabric.
Because the scanner hides walls in a different way than culling does, some culling mods can cause problems while it is turned on. The author notes that aggressive culling can make chests, spawners and mobs flicker or disappear, and recommends disabling such mods while using X-Ray. Sodium's built-in culling is listed as working correctly.
Installation needs Fabric API on the Fabric loader. The mod is client-side, so it is optional on servers and needed only where a player wants the scanner. Files are published for 1.21.11, 26.2 and 26.3, with 3.0.1 for 26.3 as the latest, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Ore scanner key
Pressing X activates the scanner, which shows ores through the ground in front of the player.
Toggle vision
The view can be switched on and off with the same key, so it stays out of the way when not needed.
Culling conflict notes
The author lists culling mods that should be disabled while the scanner is on, to avoid flickering and missing chests or mobs.
