Item Glow adds true emissive rendering to items in Minecraft.
Any item that uses an _emissive texture variant will render at full brightness - glowing in your hand, in inventories, and anywhere items are rendered. No shaders. No OptiFine.
This is a lightweight, client-side mod designed to feel like a missing vanilla feature.
Features
- Emissive items render at full brightness
- Works in-hand, in GUIs, and all item render contexts
- Automatic detection via _emissive textures
- Compatible with modded items and resource packs
- No shaders or OptiFine required
- Minimal performance impact
How it works
Simply add an _emissive texture variant to your item model. Item Glow handles the rest. No configs required. No special APIs. Just works.
