Entity Glow
This mod is a simple backport of 1.9+'s entity glow/outline feature. The code exists in 1.8.9 but isn't used in the same way. In 1.8, you need to be in spectator and pressing a specific keybind. However, servers (or at the least Hypixel), sends the necessary information about player entities (and possibly more), so we can add a check and properly render their glow. Unfortunately, the item NBT data is not sent to 1.8.9 clients.
As of 1.0.2, there is now an option to force outlines to render for teammates.

If you want to use my mods in a Modpack, I ask that the modpack is only available on Modrinth. Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss further.
