Glow & Behold (1.21.1 Unofficial Port)

by Airone

Glow & Behold adds empty lanterns that players can fill with potions or milk, and breaking a lit lantern leaves a lingering cloud that grants a status effect.

What it does

Empty lanterns are a decorative block for building, and each one can hold a potion or milk. The lantern's contents decide what happens when the lantern breaks. Breaking one releases a lingering cloud that lasts about 5 seconds and spreads over a 3 block radius, and any player inside it receives the effect carried by the lantern, at level 2. Jump Boost is one example: a lantern with Jump Boost leaves a cloud that gives Jump Boost II.

To keep a lantern intact, the potion inside can be replaced with water, and a bottle of mundane, thick or awkward potion works in the same way to clean the lantern. The mod is a Fabric port of the 1.21.1 version of Glow Behold, created by the original author sn0wfrog, and its code is open source under the MIT License. Fabric API must be installed alongside it, and the mod is for 1.21.1 only.

Key features

  1. Potion-filled lanterns

    Empty lanterns can hold a potion or milk, and the contents set the effect released on breaking.

  2. Lingering clouds

    A broken lantern leaves a cloud of about 5 seconds across a 3 block radius that affects nearby players.

  3. Level 2 effects

    Effects from a lantern's potion are applied at level 2, so Jump Boost from a lantern becomes Jump Boost II.

  4. Cleaning a lantern

    Water, mundane, thick or awkward potions can be used to empty a lantern without releasing a cloud.

How it compares

Full comparison

Rainbow Glow is a Fabric mod for 1.21.4 under the MIT License, and it runs on client and server, so both sides need it. All The Potions is a Fabric mod for 1.21.10, also under the MIT License and running on client and server. Glow & Behold is limited to 1.21.1, so neither of these covers the same version.
