Description

Crystal Glow

Discord Modrinth

Does not work with crystal opacity as it does what that mod does built into this one.

Crystal Glow is a client-side (Obv) mod that lets you customize end crystals with glow, bloom, glints, End Gateway overlays, Nether Portal overlays, opacity controls, and separate settings for the crystal core and glass. You can make the core bright and magical, make the glass more subtle, add soft bloom around the crystal, or give crystals a custom animated look without needing a shader loader.

The biggest thing with this mod is that it works with Vulkan Mod, so you can use crystal glow and bloom while playing with Vulkan instead of only normal Minecraft rendering. It also works without Vulkan incase you just prefer the mod normally, and it is made to be optimized with cached bloom, and lots more of other optimizations so you can keep the fps very high.

The mod also supports custom glint PNGs, so you can drop your own textures into the Crystal Glow glints folder, rescan them in game, and use them for the crystal core or glass. Core and glass settings can be linked together or customized separately depending on how much control you want.

This mod does NOT require any shader loader/iris/sodium. It works fully by itself and does not affect your whole game with shader effects.
