I think you may have accidentally edited the OP. You’re only supposed to edit the Ore page, since right now, there’s no link to the Ore page.

Fixed, thanks for noticing.

The glow doesn’t seem to be stable. I mean, it keeps flickering on and off very fast like a broken bulb. Perhaps it’s just my test server’s ticks or something?

That is pretty weird, it seems to work for me.

Edit: Tested this on both SpongeVanilla and SpongeForge, it seems to happen on SpongeVanilla but not SpongeForge.

Hmm it stopped happening after a while. I wish I had recorded it back when it was happening so you could see what’s up with it but it’s fine. I also notice your name on the tab list changes to the glow color as well. Is that supposed to happen?

color changing on tab list is intentional :slight_smile:

There’s the GIF.

Pretty weird, not sure what causes that, i’ll try looking into fixing it.

There is a Conflict with EasyScoreboard, Unable to change colors only White works.

@MageFX i will look into fixing this in a future update

Awesome plugin!!!
Can you please add a message such as “Glow toggled” or “You are now glowing green!” when you click an option?

Good idea, Messages like this should be added in the next update. (please note that size and text is not final.) http://i.imgur.com/AJl4dJu.png

Are you ever going to make it so that turning off glow doesn’t clear your potion effects?

Edit: Merged pull request from pie_flavor (fixes toggle removing effects)

I was bored

  • Colors are now saved over restart.
  • Toggle no longer removes all effects (Thanks (pie_flavor)

A new version has been released for Player Glow, it is available for download here.


  • Plugin now reads Json data like it should.
  • Fixed bug where the glow effect would wear off after 84 minutes.
  • Glow effect is now enabled when a color is selected.

Using vanilla commands, but player glow would have made this a ton easier.
