Gray’s Veins: Customizable Ore Visuals

Gray’s Veins is a client-side Fabric mod that lets you customize ore visibility textures using outlines, animation, glow, and per-ore controls.

Instead of forcing one ore style on everything, Gray’s Veins lets you choose how visible each ore should be. Use one global setup for all supported ores, or switch to custom mode and tune each ore individually.

Features

• Toggleable ore outlines
• Toggleable animated ore textures
• Toggleable glow/emissive-style textures
• Glow strength slider
• Global All mode for quick setup
• Custom mode for per-ore control
• Separate settings for Gold Ore and Nether Gold Ore
• Blue Netherite option for Ancient Debris
• In-game warning when the generated resource pack is not enabled
• Mod Menu support

Supported Ores

Gray’s Veins currently supports:

• Coal Ore
• Iron Ore
• Copper Ore
• Gold Ore
• Nether Gold Ore
• Redstone Ore
• Emerald Ore
• Lapis Ore
• Diamond Ore
• Nether Quartz Ore
• Ancient Debris
• Gilded Blackstone

How It Works

Gray’s Veins generates a resource pack based on your settings.

After changing settings:

1. Open Gray’s Veins settings through Mod Menu.
2. Choose All or Custom mode.
3. Adjust outlines, animation, glow, and glow strength.
4. Click Apply Textures.
5. Make sure Gray’s Veins Generated is enabled in Resource Packs.

If the generated resource pack is not enabled, Gray’s Veins will warn you in the config screen.

Blue Netherite

Ancient Debris has an extra Blue Netherite option.
When enabled, Ancient Debris uses a blue visual style to make it much easier to spot.

Blue Netherite automatically forces glow on because the style looks best with glow enabled.

Recommended With

Gray’s Veins works best with:

• Fabric API
• Mod Menu
• Continuity for connected texture behavior

Continuity is recommended if you want connected outline effects similar to connected texture resource packs.

Notes

This is a client-side visual mod. It does not change ore generation, loot tables, mining behavior, or server gameplay.

It is designed to make ores easier to see while still keeping the look configurable.
