| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| Pack doesn't appear after import | The pack format might be for a newer Minecraft version. Ensure it's for 1.8.8. Open the .zip and check pack.mcmeta: it should say "pack_format": 1 or 2. |
| Textures are black/pink/glitched | Eaglercraft sometimes caches textures. Press Ctrl+F5 to hard refresh, then reapply the pack. |
| Multiplayer server kicks me | Many Eaglercraft servers have anti-XRay plugins (Orebfuscator). The pack will not work there, or you might be banned. Use only on singleplayer or anarchy servers. |
| No "Resource Packs" button at all | Some old Eaglercraft builds lack texture pack support. Update to the latest Eaglercraft 1.8.8 offline version from the official GitHub repository. |

A: No. Eaglercraft is a reimplementation and does not support OptiFine or Forge. However, XRay texture packs work without mods because they only change assets.
Q: Will this work on a school Chromebook?
A: Yes, as long as the school hasn't blocked file uploads or local storage access. Use the offline HTML file saved to your Google Drive.

A: You likely have the wrong version. Redownload a pack specifically tagged "1.8.8 Eaglercraft." xray texture pack 188 eaglercraft install
Q: Can I use shaders or dynamic lighting with XRay?
A: No. Eaglercraft lacks shader support. The XRay effect is purely texture-based.
Installing an X-Ray pack on a private survival world is a victimless act—a tool for learning ore distribution or recovering lost items. However, on multiplayer servers, it is unequivocally cheating. Most Eaglercraft servers employ anti-X-Ray plugins (e.g., Paper’s anti-xray or Orebfuscator) that send fake stone and ore data to the client, rendering X-Ray useless by showing ores everywhere or nowhere.
Furthermore, Eaglercraft servers can detect modified clients via payload logging. If a server logs that you received 2,000 diamond ore packets but only broke 10 stone blocks, an admin will notice. The true "deep" aspect of this topic is understanding that while the installation is technically simple, the social and administrative consequences on public servers are severe—often leading to an IP ban.
