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.

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

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.

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.

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 Concrete
Craft any concrete block with a Glow Ink Sac to create glowing concrete. All 16 colors available.

Glow Glazed Terracotta
Craft any glazed terracotta with a Glow Ink Sac to create a glowing directional variant. Rotation placement works like vanilla.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
