Description from the author on Modrinth

Vanilla Team Glow!

See your teammates through walls - in their team's color.

Ever lost your squad in a chaotic UHC, SMP, team PvP match, or even a MilSim? Vanilla Team Glow makes every player on your vanilla scoreboard team glow with an outline in their team's exact color, visible right through terrain.

Built for Forge, because apparently nobody else got around to it.

Features

  • Zero setup - works instantly with vanilla team commands, no config needed
  • Team-color accurate - outline color always matches your scoreboard team
  • See through walls - glow renders even when teammates are out of line of sight
  • Lightweight - client-side only, no server mod required

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.20.1
  • Forge 47.4.10+

Installation

Drop the jar in your .minecraft/mods folder and launch.

Client-side mod - everyone who wants to see the glow needs it installed. It won't glow for players without the jar.

Usage

Set up teams like normal:

team add red
team modify red color red
team join red PlayerName

That's it. Anyone on your team now glows red (or whatever color you set) for you, automatically.
