Moog's Glow Up is a small overhaul of Glow Ink Sacs.
I thought glow ink was pretty cool but didn't have enough uses, so I added a bunch of vanilla-feeling features that make it more fun to play around with.

Glowing Armor Trims
- You can find a Glow Trim Template in ocean loot.
- Use it in a smithing table with Glow Ink to make any armor trim glow.
Glowing Banners (Loom)
- Throw a banner and Glow Ink Sac into the loom to make the last layer glow.
- If your banner doesn't have any patterns yet, you can make the base layer glow instead.
Glowing Decorated Pots (sherd-only)
- Right-click a decorated pot side with Glow Ink to make that side's sherd pattern glow.
- This only works on sides that actually have a sherd pattern (not the blank brick sides).
Glow Torch
- A torch that actually works underwater. Pretty handy for exploring.
Glow Paste
- A subtle light source you can stick on block faces.
- It only shows up when you're nearby and holding Glow Paste in your hand.
Revealing Potion
- A splash potion that drops temporary light blocks where it hits. Useful for exploring dark areas.
Glowing Sheep (easter egg)
- Use Glow Ink on a sheep and its wool will glow. Just a fun little thing I added.
