Glimmer is a server sided quality of life mod that can help players to locate ores and resources from various mods via shining particles that are easy to spot in dark caves.
Glimmer is currently compatible by default with mods like:
- Create
- Create: The factory Must Grow
- Mekanism
- Thermal Series
but, if this list is not enough for your needs, you can always add any block from any mod to the config list of blocks that will be affected by the shining particles. You can find the config file in this directory:
config > glimmer > glimmer_blocks.json
...or you can just ask me to add it by default in the next update...
