Glowing Trims Mod
by terex-mint
Armor trims on this mod keep a constant glow, so the decorated pieces stay lit without the enchantment shimmer.
What it does
Every armor trim pattern in the game gets a permanent glow effect from the mod. The glow applies to armor worn by players and to armor stands, and it stays on regardless of time of day or light level. The effect is purely visual and changes nothing about how the armor protects or how it is crafted.
The mod needs no dependencies beyond Fabric API and no configuration, so it can be installed and used as soon as the game starts. It is a Fabric-only mod with files for 1.21.1, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.0.26.3.x as the latest build for 26.3. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
