X-ray mods in Minecraft allow players to quickly identify precious items hidden deep underground. This includes rare ores, secret chests, underground dungeons, and other notable items.

X-ray mods make common blocks such as dirt, stone, and gravel completely invisible, thus leaving behind only valuables for players to see.

Minecraft Pocket Edition players can easily install X-ray mods to their game with only one simple download. This guide will explain exactly how to install and use an X-ray mod in Pocket Edition.


How can Minecraft Pocket Edition players install and use an X-ray mod?

Installing the X-ray mod:
