I see you say ‘certain’ versions have issues with the glow, mind specifying the last known latest build known to work considering the latest as of this post does not for 1.10.2?
In my testing i’ve found it seems to work fine on newer 1.10.2 builds, and i’ve not had issues on any 1.11.2 builds.
I’m using the latest 1.10.2 and I am flickering. Also you happen to know why mobs end up with a black glow regardless of team?
The flickering seems a bit random, i wish i could narrow down what the exact problem is, as for mobs, i’m not sure, this isn’t something i have looked into.
The issue is a persistent issue from vanilla. Some thing about a glowing field in EntityLiving not being set. Of course looking up any answers on this was is absolute hell because besides this one thread there is like next to nothing about this feature at all.
Interesting, seems like there isn’t much that can be done to fix it, other than using a different minecraft version.
It should be fixable in Sponge/Forge. I’ll get to it tonight and provide you a copy of the mod.
Ok bud, I got it.
The issue is related to this bug,
https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-91119
So here is a simple library you just drop into the mod folder and hook into or include in your plugin. Really up to you how you want to do it. You could just extract it and pack it in with yours. Not much point including source in your own plugin since it needs to be reobfuscated in order to work since it makes calls directly to the base class Entity.
https://github.com/vsddev/Player_Glow_Sponge/raw/master/lib/GlowFix-1.10.2.jar
You will need this to build against the GlowFix-x.x.x.jar since it has references to Entity and EntityPlayerMP. This is just an API of empty classes/methods for Minecraft so you can add as a dependency and not get tons of compile errors.
https://github.com/vsddev/Player_Glow_Sponge/raw/master/lib/VSD-MinecraftStubs.jar
Usage is real simple,
GlowFix.setGlowing(Player player, boolean glowing);
Then there is this. I issued a pull request and I also took the time to clean up that code and fix some major no nos. With this commit I did everything for you and improved the entire plugin with what amounts to a complete rewrite. Would also make maintaining this considerably less painful on you.
Compiled,

Hello, I’m a fan of this plugin- but I am experiencing one issue (that I didn’t see reported anywhere here)
Sprinting with glow enabled causes you to stutter, as though your sprint is being interrupted.
Minecraft 1.12.2
SpongeForge 3361
API 7.1
Forge 2739
Are you sprinting by pressing W twice, or are you sprinting by using the bound sprint key?
If you’re not using the sprint key minecraft bugs out.
Ah, yes- that’s precisely what I’m doing.
If I’m quite honest with you, I didn’t know the sprinting key was a feature- I’ve always just tapped W.
Thanks for clearing that up.
When you are in luminescence mode, ride the pokemon, the pokemon will also glow and cannot be restored.
What do you mean?
