Glowfeatures: A Glowstone Overhaul
What is it?
This mod is an overhaul of the glowstone element. It adds extra crafting recipes, new mobs, a new biome, and much more!
Specifics:
SpoilerNew crafting recipes:
With this mod, you can craft a
- Glowstone Pickaxe

- Glowstone Sword

- Glowstone Axe

- And even glowstone armor

More tools are on the way!
New mobs:
This mob, called a "Glumble", is passive unless attacked, which then it will call for help and you will be annihilated, so don't hit them!

NOTE: The shadow size will be fixed in a future update
New biomes!:
There are two additional biomes: The Glow Biome, and the GlowFlats! The Glow Biome has an abundance of ore and caves! Please note that some shaders won't work with this biome very well. From my experience, Iris + BSL works fine, but if you want the full experience, please don't use shaders!
The Glow Flats have abandond mineshafts and huge georgous caverns! Unfortunatly, I have not been able to get any rescources other than glowstone ore to spawn here. Working on that!

This is the glow biome ⬆️
New dimension:
You must discover how this looks for yourself, but the way you get there is by smelting glowstone dust into glowstone ingots. These can be crafted into blocks of glowstone (similar to the way you make blocks of iron). These blocks of glowstone should be constructed into a portal frame and ignited with a bottle of glowstone dust. The bottle of glowstone dust is crafted by placing a bottle and glowstone dust onto a crafting table in any order.


Bugfixes:
- Blocks of glowstone didn't drop the correct thing.
