About the Mod
Shining Champions is a lightweight visual mod for Champions Unofficial. It applies a vanilla-style glowing outline (similar to the Glowing status effect) to all Champion mobs.
Unlike HUD mods (like Jade) that require you to look directly at the mob to see its info, this mod allows you to identify Champion tiers from a distance, through terrain, and in pitch blackness just by looking at the color of their outline!
