What it does

Glow Banners lets a player use glow ink sacs on a banner so that it glows. The same effect applies to shields, so a glowing banner or shield stays visible in dark areas. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Builds cover 1.17 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and both the server and every player need it.

Key features

  1. Glowing banners

    Glow ink sacs turn a banner into a glowing one, so it can be seen in dark areas.

  2. Glowing shields

    Shields can take the same glowing effect as banners, using the same ink sacs.

  3. Glow ink sac recipe

    The glow effect comes from glow ink sacs, so no separate item is needed to make a banner glow.

What the author says

You can make individual layers glow by placing a glow ink sac in a loom with the banner, which will make the last applied layer glow. You can similarly remove the latest layers glowing with an ink sac. This glowing applies to banners put on shields too!
