You might ask, "Why not use a 1.20 or 1.21 Xray?" The answer lies in two factors:
The process is identical to installing any standard resource pack. Follow these steps carefully:
Pro Tip: For the best performance and to ensure the transparency works correctly, install OptiFine for 1.12.2. OptiFine’s "Connected Textures" and "Custom Colors" settings often help X-ray packs render more efficiently.
Installing an Xray pack is identical to installing a normal resource pack, but with one critical prerequisite.
Problem: "My screen is just black and white lines." Solution: You forgot OptiFine. Install it, or switch to "Internal Shaders" in video settings.
Problem: "Lava is blinding me."
Solution: Open the Xray pack zip. Find assets/minecraft/textures/blocks/lava_still.png and lava_flow.png. Replace them with a 16x16 transparent pink image. minecraft 1.12 xray texture pack
Problem: "I see ores, but I can't mine them (Ghost blocks)." Solution: The server has Orebfuscator. Texture packs will not help you here. You need a hacked client (way riskier), not a resource pack.
Problem: "The Xray works, but I can't see caves." Solution: That is the point. Xray removes stone so you see ores floating in a void. You do not see caves; you see straight through the world. To see caves, hold a torch (the light update will show you cave walls).
Vanilla Xray doesn't recognize modded ores (Copper, Tin, Uranium). You need to edit the pack yourself.
When posting about Xray packs, it is good practice to include a disclaimer about server rules. Most Minecraft servers explicitly ban the use of Xray resource packs, and using them can ruin the fun for other players on survival servers. Encouraging their use for Single Player or Anarchy Servers is the safest route to avoid backlash from your audience.
