With this patch, you may also utilize Optifine to see through the dark in a subtle way.
The texture is based on the redstone block to ensure compatibility with most packs (if the target pack has a rather unusual redstone block the square might not be as obvious as in default) Turn off smooth lighting as well so you can view the buried ores.Ī red square appears on monster blocks (silver fish blocks).
Optifine is a must-have for the added nightvision effect.
