Description
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, 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.

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.
