About X-Ray Mod for Minecraft 1.21.4
X-Ray stands as one of the most practical utility modifications available for Minecraft, fundamentally changing how players interact with the underground world. By selectively rendering certain blocks transparent or completely invisible, this mod reveals the hidden treasures and structures that would otherwise require hours of mining to discover. While most players utilize X-Ray to efficiently locate high-value resources like diamond, emerald, and ancient debris veins, its versatility extends to locating rare underground structures such as strongholds, abandoned mineshafts, and buried ruins. The latest version has been fully optimized for Minecraft 1.21.4, with performance improvements that minimize the frame rate impact typically associated with block transparency modifications.
Note: Using X-Ray mod on multiplayer servers may be considered cheating and could result in a ban. Always check server rules before using this mod online.

How to Use X-Ray Mod in Minecraft 1.21.4
The X-Ray mod provides a straightforward yet powerful way to reveal hidden resources and structures. Once installed, you can toggle the X-Ray effect with a simple keybind and customize exactly which blocks you want to see through the intuitive GUI system.
Basic Controls
- Toggle X-Ray: Press Backslash (\)
- Open GUI: Press Z
Adding Ores
- Access the configuration interface by pressing the Z key
- Choose your preferred block selection method: currently held block, visible blocks in view, or searchable block registry
- Customize the display name, highlight color, and visibility priority for each block type
- Finalize by clicking 'Add' and enabling the block in your active profile
- Toggle X-Ray vision with the Backslash key to immediately see your selected blocks through terrain
Editing Ores
- Right-click on any configured block entry in the GUI to access its settings
- Adjust color settings, display priority, or visibility options as needed
- Use the distance slider to control how far away specific blocks will render
- Save your changes to apply them immediately to your X-Ray view

Pro Tip: Create specialized profiles for different mining expeditions - for example, configure one profile for deep mining that highlights diamond, ancient debris, and lava (for safety), another for cave exploration that highlights mob spawners and chests, and a third for nether exploration focusing on ancient debris and nether quartz.
