Custom Glints

Custom Glints lets you paint animated, custom-colored enchantment glints onto any item or armor piece. You can also add a glowing animated outline on top if you want it to really stand out.

Glint Wand Grab it from the Custom Glints creative tab and right-click to open the editor. Pick an item, choose a pattern, throw up to 8 colors at it, set the animation speed, and decide if you want smooth fades between colors. You can stack multiple layers on one item, and each layer has its own pattern, colors, and speed. There are 55 patterns built in, plus whatever data packs add.

Glint Trims Template items you'll find in loot chests. Each one holds a pattern and can be dyed up to 8 colors. Drop two in a crafting grid to merge their colors, or duplicate one with diamonds and a glowstone dust. When you're happy with how it looks, take it to a smithing table and apply it to any item.

Glow Trims A second kind of template that adds a glowing outline to the item or armor it's applied to. Dye it, merge it, and smithing-apply it the same way as a Glint Trim. You can use it on its own or stack it with a regular glint.

Glint Tears Drop alongside trims from any loot source, and they're also in the creative tab. Simultaneous and Sequential Tears switch a glinted item between showing every color at once or cycling through them one at a time. The Layer Tear merges the layers of two trims, up to 8 total. The Black Tear wipes everything off an item if you want to start over.

Mod compatibility:

JEI picks up all the trim, tear, and smithing recipes so you can look them up in-game without checking the wiki.  Ice and Fire is supported across troll weapons, death worm gauntlets, dragon armor, and hippogryph/hippocampus mount armor (the mount armor syncs to other players too, so glints show up for everyone, not just you). Epic Knights armor decoration overlays get the glint and outline treatment. Sophisticated Backpacks render their glints across every pass of the model so they don't look broken. First-Person Model plays nice with the 3.5D body view, glints still draw on your held items but the body outline isn't shoved in your face. Most mods that add Armor/Weapons in the typical fashions.

For mod developers The render pipeline ships as a separate API jar that you can bundle into your own mod with jarJar. Your players don't need to install Custom Glints for it to work. See the wiki for the setup.
