This data pack makes the process of finding invisible armor stands much easier by applying the glowing effect to them.
Glowing Stands utilizes an advancement that triggers whenever a player holds an armor stand for 3 seconds or more. When this advancement fires, it applies the glowing effect to any invisible armor stands within 20 blocks of the player for 10 seconds. This effect is reapplied every 3 seconds until the player's main hand no longer has the armor stand item.
Questions
Why?
One of my projects utilizes a mod that allows for the manipulation of armor stands and we needed something to help us find lost invisible armor stands. Glowing Stands was created as a solution to this problem.
Can this be modified?
Of course. The data pack is fairly simple as it only consists of two files and it's under the MIT license.
Is there a config?
Not at the moment. Anything relating to the length and radius of the glowing effect has to be modified directly through the data pack's files.
