Moog's Glow Up

Moog's Glow Up is a small overhaul of Glow Ink Sacs.

I thought glow ink was pretty cool but didn't have enough uses, so I added a bunch of vanilla-feeling features that make it more fun to play around with.

Glowing Armor Trims

• You can find a Glow Trim Template in ocean loot.
• Use it in a smithing table with Glow Ink to make any armor trim glow. The armor reads Bioluminescent in its tooltip.

Resonant Armor Trims

• Same template, but with an Echo Shard instead of glow ink.
• Instead of a steady glow, the trim pulses. The armor reads Resonant in its tooltip.
• A piece can be Bioluminescent or Resonant, never both. You can re-smith one into the other whenever you like, so the choice isn't permanent.

Glowing Banners (Loom)

• Throw a banner and Glow Ink Sac into the loom to make the last layer glow.
• If your banner doesn't have any patterns yet, you can make the base layer glow instead.
• If you have Supplementaries installed, flags work too. Apply glow ink to a flag in the loom, or craft a glowing banner into a flag and the glow carries across. A flag lights up as a whole rather than one layer at a time, and its tooltip turns cyan to show that. Supplementaries is entirely optional. (1.20-1.20.1 and 1.21-1.21.1 for now.)

Glowing Decorated Pots (sherd-only)

• Right-click a decorated pot side with Glow Ink to make that side's sherd pattern glow.
• This only works on sides that actually have a sherd pattern (not the blank brick sides).

Glow Torch

• A torch that actually works underwater. Pretty handy for exploring.

Glow Paste

• A subtle light source you can stick on block faces.
• It only shows up when you're nearby and holding Glow Paste in your hand.

Revealing Potion

• A splash potion that drops temporary light blocks where it hits. Useful for exploring dark areas.
• Anything caught in the splash starts glowing too, so it doubles as a way to find what's lurking in a cave. Brew it from an Awkward Potion and a Glow Ink Sac; redstone and glowstone extend and strengthen it as usual.

Glowing Sheep (easter egg)

• Use Glow Ink on a sheep and its wool will glow. Just a fun little thing I added.
