| Aspect | (The Safer, Recommended Method) | X-Ray Mod (The Harder, Risky Method) | | --- | --- | --- | | Installation | Usually simple, drag-and-drop | Usually requires first installing an API like Forge or Fabric | | Game File Modification | Only modifies visual textures, no code | Modifies game code, often triggering anti-cheat | | Safety & Detection | Lower detection risk, but still bannable on servers | Easily detectable, high ban risk on almost all servers | | X-Ray Vision Style | Makes most blocks transparent, highlighting ores | Often features toggles, full customization, better performance | | Compatibility | Works on almost any Minecraft version | Must be downloaded for a specific version |
