NotEnoughGlints
by dioa1
NotEnoughGlints lets server owners recolor enchantment glints on tools, armor and elytra with vanilla dyes, glass panes or a nether star.
What it does
Glints are the shimmering overlay enchanted items show. NotEnoughGlints adds a way to recolor them: items are dyed at a smithing table using vanilla dye, a glass pane removes a colored glint, and a nether star turns the glint rainbow. Tools, armor and elytra can all be personalized this way, and a honeycomb or an item can be placed alongside the smithing input to apply the change. Leather armor is not yet supported because of a limitation in how item components work.
The mod is installed on the server and relies on a resource pack that joining players receive, so players do not need to install anything themselves. A server running Paper, Purpur or Folia can use the plugin version instead, and a datapack version exists for vanilla worlds. The recipes are handled by the server mod, while the client mod is still required for its rendering code. Glinted items can only be produced by commands for now, and command documentation is listed as upcoming. Files exist for 26.1 – 26.3, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
