Glow Ball
Uses
When right-clicked, the glow ball can be thrown to create a luminescent splat across a full surface it hits.
The projectile ignores water and the splat it leaves behind is much brighter in water, making it a great underwater exploration tool.
In addition, when the ball hits a living entity, it will add the Glowing effect to them.
Crafting
The default recipe for the Glow Ball returns 8 of them and requires two Glow Ink sacs in shapeless crafting:

Pure Glow Bottle
Uses
The Pure Glow Bottle can be crafted into a single Glowstone Dust and used to refill the Ink Gun.
Crafting
Ingredients: Brewing recipe with Glow Ink Sac and Water Bottles

Ink Gun
Uses
The Ink Gun is used to shoot Glow Ink even further than you can throw it and will hold up to 64 shots. (1 shot = 100mb)
Loading
Pure Glow Bottles are how you refill the Ink Gun; when combined in a crafting grid each bottle will yield 400mb of ink.
Alternatively, you can also shift-click the Ink Gun with Pure Glow Bottles in your inventory and they will be used to refill the Ink Gun, while returning the empty bottles to you.
Crafting
Ingredients: 4 Iron, 1 Copper, and a bucket.
