Outlined Ores
# Outlined Ores
### 1.20.2 and below are discontinued
The Outlined Ores texture pack is one of the most useful texture packs available. While exploring caves or strip mining, it is easy to overlook a surprising number of ore blocks. With the Outlined Ores texture pack, ores become highly visible even from a distance, making resource gathering far more efficient. The outlines are vibrant and clear, and best of all, the pack does not require any additional mods.
Despite its enhanced visibility, the texture pack maintains a natural appearance. All ore outlines are created using the existing colors of each ore block, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the game’s original style. This prevents the pack from looking unnatural or distracting, an issue commonly found in similar texture packs.

Optimum Realism

## **What is Optimum Realism?**
Optimum Realism replaces Minecraft’s blocks, items, and mobs with their real-world counterparts. It’s built with a focus on visual depth, shader compatibility, and consistent performance. The goal is a pack for players who want their world to feel grounded and tactile without the framerate cost that usually comes with realistic textures.
Over 650+ blocks reworked. Custom 3D mob models. PBR maps, parallax occlusion mapping, emissive textures, and depth-write POM, all in a single pack that runs on a GTX 1050.

## **How Optimum Realism is different**
– **Real 3D models, not just retextures.** Mobs and blocks have actual geometry, not painted-on detail.
– **Depth-write POM.** Textures genuinely interact with each other. Sand fills the crevices between planks instead of sitting flat on top.
– **Performance balance.** Most realistic packs sacrifice framerate. Optimum Realism is built to run on hardware that other realistic packs choke on.
– **Consistent monthly updates.**
