Use Optifine/ConnectedTextureMod/CoreShaders format let some things glowed or emissive for vanilla.
Currently, three formats are using.(Maybe I will make JMX format. Here)
Format compatibilities:
Optifine > ConnectedTextureMod, because CTM format is made by modifying the model. And then, this pack changed target's and redstone dust's blockstates, which maybe caused some other pack's compatibility.
Full and real time's plan is here.
I will, but only when I have time to do it:
This pack only for vanilla things, Glowing Extra [in dev] is support for mods (Or try this unofficial fork/addon:
GLOWING+)
