Glowtone: Shaderless Shaders

by AViewFromTheTop · on CurseForge

Resource-pack driven block and item emissives, provides a simple way to make your own!

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.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.11 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.10 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.5 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.11 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.10 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21.5 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 · NeoForge
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.

Glowtone

Not the block! A utility mod providing easy resource-pack block and item emissives without bloat. Check the Gallery for beatuiful examples from our built-in resource-pack!

How it works

Glowtone is simple. Textures with a suffix of _glowtone_emissive are used on performant, auto-generated model overlays. Light level can be set on a per-texture basis via .mcmeta like the following example:

{
  "glowtone_emissive": {
    "light_emission": 15
  }
}

And last of all, render layers for block can be overrode on a per-block basis via glowtone_block_render_type_overwrites/<block>.json, like so:

{
  "render_type": "cutout"
}

Use the built-in resource-pack for Vanilla emissives, or bring your own! Take a look at our pack for example useage if you want to set up compatability for your own mods or want to make resource-packs.

Does not mess with shaders. Should work out-of-the-box with Iris and Core Shaders!
