Note: GlowAPI isn't working for newer versions. So I'm working on SonarHearing's own Glowing API.
Sonar Hearing allows you to focus on all sounds, vibrations or other space changes of Minecraft.
Basically, this plugin recreate the "Focus Hearing" ability of Last Of Us.
When a player sneak, it will see all entities around himself, with a glowing effect*
*Please note that this plugin use packets, so the glowing effect is visible only for the player who has sneak.
This plugin was based on SQRTdude 's concept.

Let's move to the next file.
"config.yml" allows you to enable/disable effects when the player enable his ability to see all entities around him.
Finally, "entities.yml" is the MORE IMPORTANT file.
It allows you to specify for each entity their:
