Chromaglow

Chromaglow

What it does

Chromaglow automatically gives players and their owned pets a glowing outline and lets players customize how it behaves. Player outlines can use Chromaglow team colors, while pets can either follow their owner's color or use their collar color.

Glowing can also be hidden automatically in different situations, with personal settings available through /trigger chromaglow and global controls available to server admins.

Personal Menu

Run /trigger chromaglow to open your personal menu.

• Colors: Choose from Chromaglow's color teams to change your glowing outline color.
• Player Settings: Choose whether you glow and when your Glowing is hidden.
• Pet Settings: Choose whether your pets glow, when their Glowing is automatically hidden, and where their color comes from.

Personal choices follow the server's global defaults unless overridden, and server admins can force individual settings when needed.

Player Glowing

Players can configure whether Chromaglow applies Glowing and whether it should be hidden in specific situations:

• Crouching: Hide Glowing while sneaking.
• Invisibility: Hide Glowing while under the Invisibility effect.
• Disguises: Hide Glowing while wearing an item from #chromaglow:disguises in an armor slot.

These settings can be changed personally unless they are forced by the server configuration.

Pet Glowing

Chromaglow can also automatically apply Glowing to owned pets.

Players can configure:

• Glow Pets: Enable or disable Glowing for their pets.
• Auto Hide: Choose whether pet Glowing is hidden while Sitting, while Standing, or Never automatically hidden.
• Pet Color: Use either the Owner's Chromaglow team color or the pet's Collar color when available.

By default, pets glow using their owner's color and automatically hide their Glowing while sitting.

Customization

Use /function chromaglow:_config to configure global server settings.

Server admins can:

• Control whether players and pets glow by default.
• Force individual player and pet settings.
• Configure contextual player hiding rules.
• Configure pet auto-hide behavior and color source.
• Require the chromaglow.glowing tag separately for players and pets.
• Choose which personal menu categories players can access.

Each setting can be reset individually, while groups and the entire configuration can also be restored to their defaults.

Uninstallation

Use /function chromaglow:uninstall to remove Chromaglow's persistent data before removing the datapack.

What's Next

In a future update I plan to expand glowing granting to other entities by interacting with an item.
