If you’re playing Minecraft on mobile (Bedrock/PE version) and want to find ores like diamonds, iron, or netherite faster, using an X-Ray texture pack is one of the easiest ways to do it. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to download, install, and use X-Ray on Minecraft Mobile (both iOS and Android).

Let’s get started.

🧱 What is X-Ray in Minecraft?

X-Ray is a modified resource pack or shader that changes how blocks appear in the game. It makes most blocks invisible so that you can see valuable resources like:

  • Diamonds

  • Iron

  • Coal

  • Gold

  • Ancient Debris (in the Nether)

While this is super useful in single-player or creative worlds, keep in mind:
🚫 X-Ray is not allowed on online multiplayer servers and using it there may get you banned.

📱 Using Minecraft Mobile (Bedrock Edition)

Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE) is now part of Minecraft Bedrock Edition and works on both Android and iOS. The method in this guide works for:

  • Android phones & tablets

  • iPhones & iPads

No mods or third-party apps are required. You’ll just need to install a resource pack (.mcpack file).

How to Install X-Ray on Minecraft Mobile

Before installing anything, make sure you fully close the game.

🔹 Step 2: Download the X-Ray Texture Pack

  1. Open your mobile web browser

  2. Search for:
    “Better X-Ray Minecraft Bedrock site:nonminecraft.net”

  3. Tap the relevant result from nonminecraft.net or another reliable Bedrock content site

  4. Choose whether you want the X-Ray with outline or without (recommended: no outline for clarity)

  5. Tap Download from Server 2 (or any active download link)

  4. Optionally: Use a Night Vision potion for even better visibility underground
