Blinked and Your Friends Ran Off? Never Lose Sight Again. Assigns A Random Unique Glow Color to Players as They Join. Server-Side Only!
⬇ Download on ModrinthGlowing Friends
Fully server-side Fabric mod that outlines your friends with a colored glow effect. Targeted for small non-competitive servers made up of friends, but technically works for any number of players.
- When a player joins the server, they are assigned a random one of the 16 Vanilla Minecraft colors. If the server already has players, it will reshuffle everyone's colors to be random.
- It will choose every color besides white, black, light gray, and dark gray first before it chooses those ones.
- After the 17th player joins, the restrictions for repeating colors and prioritizing the vibrant colors don't apply and they'll randomly get 1/16.
