Ores in blocks

[Hubertus 29]

Hello all! I'm working on a texture pack that makes ores a little more visible for people playing with difficult light or with crappy eyes. I've worked up some higher contrast textures, that still largely resemble their vanilla counterparts (mostly just burnished edges), and would like to test them against their natural stone types. I know you can't find stone with ores in them in the creative menu, so I was wondering if anybody knows how to spawn blocks of stone with ore in them.

 

For example, take tertahydrite. Tetrahydrite appears in Slate, schist, quartzite, phylitte, marble, and gneiss. I'd like to line up one of each type with tetrahydrite in them to make sure it is visible in all rock types.

This isn't possible. If you want to see how they look in-game, you're going to have to create a custom texture that is the ore overlayed on the specific stone, and then put that texture on some other block like raw stone, smooth stone, or planks or something.

Arrrrr, such a shame. But, on the plus side, the alternative actually sounds easier. Thank you very much for the quick response!
