X-Ray Ultimate Texture Pack 1.21.9, 1.21.8 → 1.20 - Free Download
Finding diamonds, ancient debris, and spawners can be slow, especially if you hate branch mining or your caving luck is bad. The X-Ray Ultimate texture pack helps by stripping visual noise so you can prioritize exposed ore veins and structures.
This guide is for Java Edition players who want a safe, reputable download and clean install steps. If you play on public servers, we’ll cover the risks and better practices. If you’re on Bedrock, we’ll clarify options that aren’t the same pack. You’ll learn how the pack works, where it’s allowed, exact installation, performance tips, and reliable alternatives.

What Is X-Ray Ultimate?
At a technical level, X-Ray Ultimate replaces textures for non-essential blocks so the game renders them as transparent or simplified. Because it’s a resource pack, it does not inject code, modify world generation, or add features like a mod would. Per the project page, OptiFine is optional but recommended for a stronger night vision effect; turning off Smooth Lighting also helps visibility.

Is X-Ray Ultimate Bannable??
- Most public servers explicitly ban x-ray—whether via mods or resource packs—because it provides an unfair advantage. Expect penalties up to permanent bans.
- Popular server software like Paper ships an Anti-Xray obfuscation system that scrambles what clients can see in caves and around ores. It reduces (not eliminates) x-ray effectiveness and is commonly used on modern servers.
- Rule enforcement varies by community, but the norm is “x-ray is disallowed.” Assume bannable unless a server’s written rules say otherwise. When in doubt, ask staff.
