Golden Dandelion Baby Glow
Golden Dandelion Baby Glow gives a golden glow to AgeLocked mobs, such as baby animals and villagers, while the player holds a Golden Dandelion in the offhand.
What it does
Once a datapack is in place, the mod detects AgeLocked entities, meaning mobs whose age is fixed at their current stage, and applies a temporary golden glow highlight to them while the Golden Dandelion is held. It works through a datapack and a mod, so the effect follows the item in the offhand and not any gameplay rule.
The effect is purely visual. It tracks AgeLocked mobs across the world and changes nothing about how they behave or grow. Installation means placing the datapack in the world's datapacks folder, then reloading or restarting the world. The server must run the mod, while players can skip it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the Data pack server platform is also supported.
