# Entity Glow<\/p>\n

This mod is a simple backport of 1.9+’s entity glow\/outline feature. The code exists in 1.8.9 but isn’t used in the same way. In 1.8, you need to be in spectator and pressing a specific keybind. However, servers (or at the least Hypixel), sends the necessary information about player entities (and possibly more), so we can add a check and properly render their glow. Unfortunately, the item NBT data is not sent to 1.8.9 clients.<\/p>\n

As of 1.0.2, there is now an option to force outlines to render for teammates.<\/p>\n

## Modpack?<\/p>\n

If you want to use my mods in a Modpack, I ask that the modpack is only available on Modrinth. Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
