Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.17.11 and 1.18.0-rc.5, outdated):
GlowingOre-1.0.0.zip  1-click install

Makes any ores, loose bits, gems and meteors glow in the dark! (They do glow faintly in the light/day but it looks more like bloom). Someone in the Vintage Story discord asked if this was possible, so I thought I'd just quickly upload this. Works by using a patch so it should be compatible with any mods that add more ores and loose bits.

Must be installed on a server to use in multiplayer, currently don't know how to get around this. It be how it do I suppose. If you do have a way to get it to work in multiplayer without this limitation, feel free to update it or msg me.

First release/probably the only one unless either a solution for the multiplayer thing is found, or some update manages to break it (or I manage to break it).

@Rythillian thanks!! I'll try it out! I suggest adding that to the description so people know its configurable :)

Actually you can configure it! The mod is only json files, just open the zip and look for the json labeled "blocktypes". When you open those text files simply adjust the glow level to something else. It'll look like ["glowLevel": 75]. I promise it's very simple!

I'm still using this and it works fine, but fuck its bright! Even with bloom off and gamma at <100. I wish I could configure it!

I really hope you update this, it seems like it'd be a huge help finding stuff, I struggle with spotting ores and someone recommended this mod
