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.

Config file: config/glow_up.json

You can turn features on/off or tweak light levels and loot chances. Here's the default config:

  "glowTrimLootChance": 0.1,
  "glowTrimLootTables": [
    "minecraft:chests/shipwreck_treasure",

  ],
