Glow Trims - Dynamic Lights

by Jackrispy

Glow Trims - Dynamic Lights gives armor trims real light, so trimmed gear glows in the dark on the client.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

Trimmed armor made at a smithing table with a glow ink sac emits actual light in the world, not only an emissive texture. Each trim material gives a different brightness, with amethyst and diamond shining more strongly than copper or netherite. The mod requires Glow Trims and LambDynamicLights - Dynamic Lights, and is published for Fabric only, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as its single build, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Light from armor trims

    Armor given a trim with a glow ink sac lights the area around the wearer instead of only showing a glowing texture.

  2. Brightness by material

    Each trim material sets its own light level, so amethyst and diamond are brighter than copper and netherite.

  3. Smithing table crafting

    The glow effect is applied at a smithing table, using the same trim process players already know.
