Overview
This resource pack is an official compatibility patch that brings the 3D models and emissive textures from Better Ores 3D over to the Stay True aesthetic. It adjusts the color palettes and shading to ensure the ores don't look out of place when using Stay True's vibrant, varied stone textures.
Features
- Full 3D geometry for all overworld and nether ores.
- Textures re-colored to match the specific Stay True color palette.
- Randomized ore variants to break up tiling patterns in caves.
- Emissive (glowing) textures for easier spotting in dark areas.
- Subtle animations on select ore types for a little more life.
Resolution and Performance
The pack is 16x16, staying true to Minecraft's original resolution. While the models add extra polygons to ore blocks, the performance impact is negligible on most systems. If you have a very low-end PC, you might notice a small frame drop in areas with extremely high ore density, but otherwise, it runs like vanilla.
Compatibility and Requirements
Minecraft Versions
- 1.21.2 and newer: Works completely fine in vanilla. No mods required for the glowing effects.
- 1.21.1 and older: You will need a mod to enable the emissive/glowing textures.
Required Mods (for older versions)
If you are playing on an older version, the ores will not glow without one of the following:
- OptiFine: Make sure "Emissive Textures" is turned ON in your Quality settings.
- Iris/Sodium: Use the Continuity mod. If you are on Sodium 0.5.x or older, you will also need Indium for the models to render correctly.
Load Order
To make sure everything looks right, place this pack above the base Stay True pack in your resource pack list.
