Emissive Library

by Bluebird · on Modrinth

Uses core shaders to allow emissive texture support for blocks, items, armor, and more! This is a library for other resourcepack creators to use.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.8⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.4⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.6
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

How This Works

This pack uses core shaders to allow the support of emissive blocks / items / entities / more. This means that it should work in any version 1.18+. This pack makes anything with the translucency value of 254 glow. This makes it easy to implement on existing packs.

For Resource Pack Developers

Read the how to implement section of this page. Feel free to use this in any pack you create or link this page as a dependency. You can use any content in this pack in your own pack with credit to me. You can use this pack as long as you credit this page in your work. You do not need my permission you just need to credit me.

How to Implement in Your Packs

All you have to do is change the pixels that you want to be emissive to have a translucent / alpha value of 254. You can use Paint .net, GIMP, or any other software to do this.
