GlintColorizer
by Polyfrost
Players who want a different enchantment shine on their gear can use GlintColorizer, a Forge and Ornithe client mod that recolors the glint on enchanted items.
What it does
The mod gives each kind of item its own glint settings, covering items held in hand, items in GUI slots, dropped items, item frames and armor. The two layers of the glint can be colored separately, and the glint can be removed from armor entirely. A single click applies one color to every category at once, and a preset option can match the older glint color used in earlier releases.
Speed, rotation and size of the glint can also be changed. The mod can stretch the glint over the whole slot or draw it behind a potion bottle rather than on top of it. Its settings open from the /glintcolorizer command. A bundled option gives potions in the inventory a different look, and the mod is built to work alongside Argentum's GUI rendering and other glint styles.
GlintColorizer is published for Forge and Ornithe on 1.8.9 and 1.12.2. It needs OneConfig and Fabric Language Kotlin, and OneConfig is bundled inside the mod. The code is under a custom license and is not open source, though public source code and an issue tracker are available.
Key features
Per-category settings
Each category of item has its own glint settings, from hand and GUI slots to dropped items and armor.
Two-layer coloring
Each of the two layers of the glint can be given its own color.
Glint removal on armor
The glint can be turned off on armor so worn pieces show no enchantment shine.
Potion-matched glint
The glint can be colored to match the potion, or drawn behind the bottle instead of on it.
Glint shape and motion
Speed, rotation and size of the glint can be adjusted, and it can be stretched over the whole slot.
