BerryGlow
by OrkaMC
BerryGlow gives Glow Berries a short Glowing effect when a player eats them, using the same outline effect that Spectral Arrows apply.
What it does
Eating a Glow Berry applies Minecraft's regular Glowing effect for a short time, so the player's outline stays visible to others for that period. The change is meant for players who want Glow Berries to be more useful while keeping the feel of vanilla survival.
The mod also adds two crafting routes: a potion recipe for new Glowing Potions, and an alternative way to craft Spectral Arrows. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed alongside BerryGlow on a Fabric server. BerryGlow runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and it is not open source.
Key features
Glowing effect from berries
Eating a Glow Berry gives the player the standard Glowing effect for a short duration.
Glowing potions

Spectral Arrow crafting
An additional recipe lets players craft Spectral Arrows in a second way.
Vanilla-style changes
Changes stay close to vanilla mechanics, adding small improvements rather than new systems.
