How to get and use X-ray texture pack for Minecraft 1.20

When you jump into Minecraft 1.20 for the first time, you will immediately start digging down and finding valuable items like iron, diamonds, gold, etc. However, these earth minerals are generated in the form of ores, some of which are quite rare to find. Even after mining for several hours, you would only manage to find a handful of them. If you do not want to waste time finding these ores and quickly spot them from anywhere, you will need an x-ray resource or texture pack.

The X-ray texture pack is somewhat considered a cheat code, especially for survival mode, since it quickly allows you to find ores that you technically should spend time finding.

However, there are all kinds of players, some of whom would not fancy mining for hours. Hence, here are the simple steps to download and install the resource pack.

After you enter a world, you will instantly notice that the Xray Ultimate texture pack is working. You will not be able to see any blocks other than ores that are hidden underground.

However, they will all be blacked out. This is because there is no light reaching these blocks.

To compensate for that, you need to have the night vision status effect applied to you or have the OptiFine mod installed to clearly see each and every ore block.
