BedrockSignGlow

# BedrockSignGlow A lightweight Minecraft plugin that makes all signs appear with glowing text for Bedrock/Floodgate players on Java servers. Originally built to solve a sign readability issue on a personal server, now released publicly for anyone running a hybrid Java/Bedrock setup. ## Features - **Zero configuration** — install and forget - **All signs glow** — every sign automatically renders with glowing text for Bedrock clients - **Java clients unaffected** — only Bedrock players see the glow - **No performance impact** — intercepts existing packets, no extra network traffic ## Requirements - PaperMC 1.20+ (or compatible fork) - [ProtocolLib](https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/protocollib/) 5.4.0+ - [Floodgate](https://geysermc.org/download/floodgate) 2.2.3+ ## Installation 1. Download the latest JAR from [Releases](https://github.com/techwiz18/BedrockSignGlow/releases) 2. Place it in your server's `plugins/` folder alongside ProtocolLib and Floodgate 3. Restart the server ## How it works The plugin intercepts two types of outgoing packets: - **`TILE_ENTITY_DATA`** — catches signs updated at runtime (placing, editing) - **`MAP_CHUNK`** — catches signs loaded with chunks (on join, walking into new areas) For each sign sent to a Bedrock player, it sets `has_glowing_text` to `1` in the sign's NBT data. Java clients continue to see signs normally since the plugin only modifies packets sent to Floodgate players. ## Building ```bash git clone https://github.com/techwiz18/BedrockSignGlow.git cd BedrockSignGlow mvn clean package ``` The built JAR will be in `target/`. ## License MIT License — see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details. ## Disclaimer This project was developed with the assistance of AI (OpenAI's Codex).
