'''Orebfuscation''' (from '''ore''' and ob'''fuscation''') is a common mechanic on civ servers which makes sought-after blocks (such as diamond ore) appear visually as undesirable blocks (such as stone) until the player comes within a certain distance. This replacement is purely visual, and is meant to lessen the effectiveness of x-raying (using disallowed mods to see blocks a vanilla client would not be able to).
Orebfuscation is applied by the [https://github.com/Imprex-Development/orebfuscator Orebfuscator]plugin.

Line 19 ⟶ 21:
Unless you're x-raying, you should never see these hidden fake blocks. The one exception is if you mine while the server is lagging - sometimes the server can't send you the true value of a block before you break a block next to it and expose it, resulting in the display of random hidden blocks.

Orebfuscator is generally considered effective against players who x-ray. However, it is not completely effective, as x-ray may still allow players to see nearby blocks that would otherwise be blocked from sight.{{Mechanics}}
