Glow Player Heads

by 1Mezo

Glow Player Heads highlights player heads in the inventory and adds a live head counter for players who collect heads in combat PvP.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

Player heads in the inventory are drawn with a glow that makes them stand out among other items. The glow color can be customized, and an optional animation can be turned on. The glow effect can also be switched off entirely through a keybind, so the inventory looks like vanilla again when needed.

A live head counter appears on screen and tracks how many heads the player holds, which helps when looting kills or sorting a full inventory. The counter's colors can be adjusted, and every feature is toggleable, so players choose which parts they want.

The mod runs on the client alone: a player installs it, and servers do not need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.11. The 1.0.0 file on the beta channel is the latest, dated 2026-08-17, and the project is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Questions

Does Glow Player Heads need to be installed on the server?

No. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers can run without it.

Which loader does Glow Player Heads support?

Only Fabric. Files are published for Fabric alone, for Minecraft 1.21.11.

Can the glow effect be turned off?

Yes. A keybind toggles the glow effect off, so the inventory can be shown without the highlight.
