FoxGlow

by Emafire003

Players who want foxes and players to glow can add that effect with FoxGlow, a Fabric, Forge and Quilt mod for 1.17 – 1.21.5.

FabricForgeQuiltClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.17 – 1.21.5

What it does

When a fox or a player eats a Glow Berry, the glow effect starts. FoxGlow also lets server owners add other food items to the list of glowing foods through a configuration entry, such as golden apples or a juice made from Glow Berries. The effect lasts two seconds by default, and the game rule foxGlowDuration sets a different length, for example 100 ticks.

The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. It needs Fabric API and runs on client and server, so either side can run it, and neither needs it. The game rule doPlayersGlow toggles the effect for players, and it is active by default. A second option, customColorGlow, decides whether the glow uses a custom color, which requires ColoredGlowLib as an optional dependency. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt up to 1.8.0 for 1.21.5, and for Forge the latest file is 1.5.0+forge for 1.19.2, in the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Glowing foxes and players

    Foxes and players that eat Glow Berries or other listed items gain a glow effect for a set duration.

  2. Adjustable duration

    The foxGlowDuration game rule changes how long the glow lasts, measured in ticks.

  3. Player glow toggle

    The doPlayersGlow game rule turns the glow effect on or off for players, and it is on by default.

  4. Custom food list

    Server owners can add other foods, including items from other mods, to the list that makes foxes and players glow.

What the author says

This mod makes foxes and players glow when they eat Glow Berries, or other items that should make the player glow! Simple right? This should be in vanilla, anyway you can have it this way now! The best way to enjoy this mod is with other people on a server, so you can use the code EMALIGHTDEV on Nodecraft for discount!
