What's been Dug Up: X-Ray

So, next up is this nice X-Ray mod I found. The mod is made by AmbientOcclusion, at least when I go by the creator's Minecraft Forum Username. What this mod does is pretty self-explanatory, but there are a few things that you won't get straight from the name.

 

In this mod, you can switch between using X-ray vision or not by pressing x. Most textures will be rendered invisible when it is turned on, save for the occasional flowers and such. While X-ray vision is on, you can see all the ores, lava, and water from your point of view, but it won't show any ore(s), lava, or water behind another ore, so it'll be more effective to move around a bit to make sure you're not missing any nice finds.

As you can see from this picture, all ores can turn to black. This occurs when toggling Full Bright and can probably be used to find the bigger ore veins. Lava and water are both not affected by Full Bright, so it may make it less distracting to get to any lava you want if you can't see the ores. Be careful though, since this won't show anything more than a hint of where caverns, underground ravines, or other areas that can cause large and possible lethal drops are.


If you want to get this mod and start mining straight for those diamonds, go here and follow the download link in the first post.
