Animated ores with different variants, and they are emissive. A 16x pack from gitq covering blocks and vanilla like, built for Minecraft 1.16 – 26.2. The pack is MIT, but its animations of modded ores start from those mods' own ore textures, including Create's and Jewelry's, which are All Rights Reserved — so we do not mirror it, and the button above goes to the author’s official Modrinth page.

How to install Animated Ore

1. 1Download the Animated Ore .zip from the button above — keep it zipped. Its licence, or the licence of artwork inside it, doesn’t allow re-hosting, so that button takes you to the official Modrinth page — always the newest build, straight from the author.
2. 2Launch Minecraft 1.16 – 26.2 and open Options → Resource Packs → Open Pack Folder.
3. 3Drop the .zip into that resourcepacks folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\resourcepacks on Windows).
4. 4Back in-game, move Animated Ore to the right-hand column to activate it and click Done. No restart needed — textures swap immediately.

Resolution & compatibility

At 16x it matches vanilla's native resolution, so it costs essentially no extra VRAM and runs anywhere Minecraft runs. Animated Ore retextures blocks, vanilla like, and works alongside other packs — Minecraft applies them top-down, so put Animated Ore above any pack you want it to override. It also stacks cleanly with shader packs, since resource packs change textures while shaders change lighting.

Animated Ore is created by gitq and published under its own MIT (includes All Rights Reserved textures) terms. Those terms, or the terms of artwork the pack includes, don’t allow re-hosting, so we link to the author’s official download rather than mirroring it.
