About this project

What does Glowing Friends add?

Glowing 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.
