AuraLumina
AuraLumina replaces the vanilla glowing outline with 13 dynamic, reactive auras that change with the world and with the player's health and combat state.
What it does
Each aura is drawn around the player and reacts to the environment: the glow shifts toward pale blue at high altitudes and a fiery red in deep mines, and one aura can act as an altimeter that reads height from its colour. Warm tones appear at dawn and dusk, solar yellow during the day and deep blue at night, so the look follows the sky.
The mod is 100% client-side, so only the player who installs it sees the effects, and servers run without it. Its lock feature hides the mod's interface for players on a server, and it is designed for permanent ranks that are granted through join commands. A server can send a LOCK command to a player, which displays a red LOCKED SERVER screen when that player tries to open a menu. The lock state is saved locally and stays synchronized with the player's current rank progression. The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.0.0 released on 2026-07-17.
