GlowFeatures
by 3DThangs
GlowFeatures, a NeoForge equipment mod, adds a glowstone tier of pickaxes, swords, axes and armor for players who gather glowstone.
What it does
GlowFeatures introduces a reworked glowstone element to the game. Players can craft a Glowstone Pickaxe, a Glowstone Sword and a Glowstone Axe, and a set of Glowstone armor is included as well. The author also fixed some blocks that dropped the wrong item and changed the shadow size.
The mod reaches into exploration: it adds glow-themed content to abandoned mineshafts and large, lush caverns, where the new material can be found. The author notes that some resources from other glowstone ore spawns can also turn up in these places, so a world may show items that come from more than one source.
GlowFeatures runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge only, with builds for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, and the latest file is 1.7.0 for 1.21.5, released on 2025-05-11. The mod is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License and is not open source.
