Request for help to code an optimization mod

Can you please help me code a faster lighting & tile renderer that uses Direct X with culling tiles, particles, entities, & projectile? also, You know about Data URIs, like 'data:text/plain; base64 ,SGVsbG8=', if you do, here is something: Y29udGFjdCBtZSBhdCBiYXR0bGluZ2plc3NlQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==

Awesome, thanks so much!

I've updated the mod. Gems are now visible like other ores.

Gems and hard mode ores won't glow no matter what settings I use

I can't seem to get gems to glow at all

@ឆ្មាធុញទ្រ In the last update they use to glow based on which biome you were in but this actually caused a significant FPS drop and thus in favour of performance, now they all just glow purple no matter what biome you are in.

Is every pot supposed to glow purple or is it broken? I remember pots glowing depending on the biome and now i think everything is corrupted even tho there is no corruption there

@Shrukis Can you please tell me if the new mod version 1.3.16 fixed this for you?

It's sooooooooooo laggy for my pc

@timba1604 Thanks for pointing this out. I have just pushed out a new update that fixes this.

@kasper.walczuk @Adolf Charles I don't know how to these things sorry.

The base forest biome isnt working for some reason, there isnt even an specific config for it

Id love to use it but the frame drop is insane

This is possibly one of my favorite mods of all time.

Can you add an option to add custom blocks, so that modded ores can glow, or add modded ore support?

Just came here to say I fucking love this mod!!! Genuinely awesome stuff!

does this mod make hallowed trees ( especially the leafs ) glow? even an outline or something would be nice

that's Nice I need to test this mod again!

I have read all your comments and I've added everything you have asked for

You guys have been asking for added config features for so long. I am sorry for not adding them sooner.

I have published a WIP version of the new config settings. More will come soon.

I just figured out how to add config options for individual ores / plants so I'll be doing that next.

- Ores no longer not glow based on terrain level, this means ores will now glow on the surface

- Player light has been reduced from 20% to 12%
- Plant walk light trigger radius reduced from 3 to 2

Mod has been ported to 1.4.4

Grass seems to just be permanently glowing, and none of the config options can turn the glowing grass off

This mod needs more config options

can we have a video or screenshot preview?

i agree with Terramen, Please make the jungle glowing and the plants glowing optional

Sounds cool but it's too op to be used in real playthroughs.

glorious mod, fr. i had the pleasure of loading into my world with this for the first time at night, and i legitimately had to just sit and stare for a while.

Everything else is OP IMO.

Well I don't like most of the glows, I just like the life crystal, life fruit, meteorite ore & hellstone ore.

Adding the current config options was easy, but I'm not sure how to add the config options for what you're asking. If you want to have a look at the code yourself, scroll down in the comments for the GitHub link. I could try a few things but I don't have the time to do that right now.

Can you make all the features optional? Can you make life fruit glow yellow instead of red?

Is it possible to add a toggle to more options? Specifically surface plants

simple yet great mod

Hey there, love the mod!

Would you mind adding a toggle for the Jungle and plant glow? I feel like these two make torches completely useless, ha ha!

Fantastic mod. The subtle touches, such as being able to see a chest softly glowing without the need for constant potion buffs or scouring the map is fantastic and improves the experience more than you would think.

Mods like this are very cool. Can be used in any modded playthrough and just makes the game better.

Seeing this on 1.4 brings a little more light into my dim life

Added config

It brings me joy to see this updated to 1.4 so quickly - I'd grown so accustomed to the ambient glow that the base game began to look flat in comparison.

There is no config at the moment

Is the mod configurable?
