Glow Trigger

by sacdj

Glow Trigger is a server-side command mod that makes players glow on demand, for locating them in a crowd.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.2

What it does

A trigger command starts a glowing effect on the player who uses it, so other players can see where they are. The effect makes a player visible through walls and across distances, which helps locate someone close by, above, below or behind blocks. The mod takes advantage of a little-used vanilla glowing effect, so no extra assets are needed on the client.

Glow Trigger is released for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 13 release versions, 1.21 – 26.2, and is also available as a data pack. Only the server requires the mod, and players can join without installing anything. The code is All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Trigger command

    A command starts the glowing effect on the player who runs it, with no item or setup required.

  2. Locate nearby players

    Glowing players can be seen through blocks above, below and around, which helps find someone quickly.

  3. Vanilla glowing effect

    The mod uses the game's own glowing effect rather than adding new visuals to the client.
