'''Orebfuscation''' (from ''ore'' and ''obfuscation'') is a common mechanic on civ servers which visually obscures valuable blocks until a player comes within a certain distance. This is done to decrease the effectiveness of x-ray as a means of finding [[infrastructure]] (such as [[Bunker|bunkers]] or [[Snitch|snitches]]), or anything else a player wishes to keep hidden.

Blocks obscured in this way usually include chests, [[Snitch|snitches]], and [[obsidian]], and are usually replaced by stone or a similar common block.
