About XRay Ultimate
This controversial pack makes ores easier to find by turning most blocks transparent. XRay Ultimate replaces the textures of stone, dirt, andesite and other blocks with transparent ones, revealing hidden ores, caves and structures. The pack is banned on most multiplayer servers and treated as a cheat.
It can only be useful in private single-player worlds, for learning how ores are distributed.
