Works with Java 8 and above.
(I noticed that the GlowAPI from the inventivetalent has been abandoned, has not been updated for a long time, has bad reviews and bugs, as well as a rather low-quality code - so I decided to make and publish my own version of the api for the glow)
XGlow - is a simple, easy-to-use API to create glow on your entities. The plugin requires ProtocolLib to work.
Usage
First you need to create a Glow object: (You can use a builder for this)
Glow glow = Glow.builder()
.сolor(ChatColor.GREEN)
.name("test")
.build();
You can add entity to glow object holders,
to make this entity glow with glow object colors.
The glow of the entity will be seen by all viewers
which the glow object contains:
glow.addHolders(entity);
To remove the glow of an entity,
you can remove it from the glow object holders.
The entity's glow will disappear for all viewers of the glow object:
glow.removeHolders(entity);
You can add a viewer to the glow object so that he immediately sees the glow of all holders of the glow object:
glow.display(player);
When the viewer is removed from the glow object,
all holders of the glow object will
no longer glow for removed viewer:
glow.hideFrom(player);
