Description from the author on Modrinth

Info

This resourcepack makes armor trims glow in the dark. This should also work with all datapacks and resourcepacks that add/change armor trims. It even works with my own Colorful Trims datapack (Scroll down for more info).

Warning: This resourcepack uses core shaders to make it emissive / glow. Due to this, it may not work with optifine and iris shaders. It does however work in vanilla & with sodium. This also may not work with modernfix

How to install Emissive Trims

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Emissive Trims in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
