Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Glow Ink Plus mod

Features

This mod adds new uses to the glow ink sac that was added in version 1.17. With this mod you can make wool, carpets, beds, stained-glass, candles, glass panes, concrete, glazed terracotta, terracotta, concrete powder, leather armor, banners, shields, and even sheep glow with emissive rendering (perfect for use with shaders).

The wool textures of the texture packs are supported.


Glow Wool

Craft any wool with a Glow Ink Sac to create a glowing variant that emits a low light level and renders at full brightness.

No shaders With shaders


Glow Carpets

Craft any carpet with a Glow Ink Sac to create a glowing carpet variant.

No shaders With shaders


Glow Beds

Craft any bed with a Glow Ink Sac, or craft glow wool with planks, to create a glowing bed variant. Glow beds work exactly like vanilla beds (sleeping, setting spawn) with added emissive rendering.

No shaders With shaders


Glow Stained Glass

Craft 8 stained-glass with 1 Glow Ink Sac (3×3 pattern) to make 8 glowing stained-glass blocks. Fully transparent with emissive rendering, compatible with beacons.

No shaders With shaders


Glow Candles

Craft any candle with a Glow Ink Sac to create a glowing candle. Place up to 4 per block and light them — the glow effect stacks with the candle's natural light.

Glow Stained Glass Panes

Craft 8 stained-glass panes with 1 Glow Ink Sac (3×3 pattern) for 8 glow panes, or craft 6 glow stained-glass in a 3×2 pattern for 16 glow panes. Pane connections and transparency work exactly like vanilla.

Glow Terracotta

Craft any terracotta with a Glow Ink Sac to create glowing terracotta blocks.

No shaders With shaders


Glow Concrete Powder

Craft any concrete powder with a Glow Ink Sac to create glowing concrete powder. Like vanilla, it falls with gravity and hardens into glowing concrete on contact with water.

No shaders With shaders


Glowing Sheep

Right-click a sheep with a Glow Ink Sac to make its wool glow. The glowing state persists and is visible to all players in multiplayer. Shearing a glowing sheep drops 1-3 Glow Wool items matching its dye color.

No shaders With shaders


Glowing Leather Armor

Place any leather armor piece in a Smithing Table with a Glow Ink Sac (no template needed) to make it glow at full brightness. Dyed leather armor retains its color while glowing. The effect can be washed off in a water cauldron.

No shaders With shaders


Glowing Banners

Combine any banner with a Glow Ink Sac in a Crafting Table to make it glow. All patterns, colors, and custom names are preserved. Glowing banners render at full brightness both when placed in the world and when held in hand or displayed in item frames.

No shaders With shaders


Glowing Shields

Combine a decorated shield (one with a banner pattern) with a Glow Ink Sac in a Crafting Table to make it glow. Alternatively, applying a glowing banner to a shield will automatically transfer the glow effect. Glowing shields render at full brightness when held.
