About this Mod

Glimmer is a server sided quality of life mod that can help players to locate ores and resources from various mods via shining particles that are easy to spot in dark caves.

Glimmer is currently compatible by default with mods like:

Create
Create: The factory Must Grow
Mekanism
Thermal Series

but, if this list is not enough for your needs, you can always add any block from any mod to the config list of blocks that will be affected by the shining particles. You can find the config file in this directory:

config > glimmer > glimmer_blocks.json

...or you can just ask me to add it by default in the next update...

Frequently Asked Questions

Glimmer mod server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Glimmer mod compatible with forge?

Glimmer mod officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Glimmer mod – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Glimmer mod consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
