Description:

• I would like to request that the ores get recolored or retextured to help them stand out more. This could be recoloring the existing ore textures introduced in 1.18 (coal, copper, redstone, iron, gold, lapis) or simply recoloring the existing texture to add more contrast. Changing the difficult to see ores to be brighter and more striking would make finding them in caves much easier. Making completely custom ore textures is also an option, but I would rather have recolored existing ore textures.

Reason:

• I am moderately Red-Green colorblind. Deepslate Tungsten, Lead, and Nikolite are virtually indistinguishable from regular Deepslate to me. I have trouble spotting them while stripmining, let alone in caves. I suspect only the Nikolite is a colorblind issue, and the others just mesh too well with the Deepslate color. The new ore textures introduced in 1.18 were made in part to account for colorblindness, and I would love for this mod to adopt this change.
• #265 mentions this issue as well, and this seems to be entirely ignored. In image they have provided, I cannot tell the difference between the problematic ores (Tungsten, Lead, and Nikolite).

I hope you consider changing the ore textures. Thank you.

I also think that some of the ore textures aren't great (even for people who aren't colorblind), but that can easily be fixed with a resource pack, e.g. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/industrial-revolution-ore-color-fix

I don't really like some of the colors in that pack either, but you can just unzip it and recolor them yourself with a decent paint app.
