You can also add custom color animation, a set of colors that will change overtime, like a rainbow!

For normal users, you can use the commands to set custom colors, and datapacks to add custom animation, while developers can use the API and the javadoc as guide. There is also a wiki.

#### Commands Every command begins with `/cgl` , short for ColoredGlowLib. You can also use `/coloredglowlib`.

You can specify a color to use for an entity/entitytype using the following command:

`/cgl setglowcolor `

The `entity/type/defaylt` parameter is what you want to target, so @p, Emafire003, the uuid of the entity in front of you etc or it's type such as `minecraft:sheep`. `default` means that all entites that don't have a specific color will glow the default color.

The `color` parameter is a hexadecimal color code (like #ff85ab, #750711, #abc, #123, #a7e ecc, search "color picker" online to get them) without the `#` since minecraft interprets it as a beginning of a tag (which is not what it should be doing in this case). In alternative you can provide the word `rainbow` that will make the entity glow, you guessed it, rainbow. You can also use `random` to make an entity glow a different random color every half a second, or another string that represents a custom animation added via datapack!

There also are some settings you can tweak. For example if you want to override the default team colors (the ones minecraft assigns) with the command:

`/cgl settings set overrideTeamColors `

You can also get the current value of the setting, like so:

`/cgl settings get overrideTeamColors`

To remove a color you can use:

`/cgl clear `

`useDefault` is an optional true/false parameter. If set to true, the default color will be used instead of setting the color for entities to white.

More of this in the wiki!

## Custom color animations You can add custom animations via a datapack, you can find an example of one here. After you created the datapack, you can use it as a color, corresponding to the name parameter you have set inside the datapack.

For example you can use: `/cgl setglowcolor @p marine`

## Setup ### For normal users: Just drag and drop this mod into your mod folder and enjoy! (Make sure you are downloading the correct file for the correct loader tho!)

### For developers: Add this library into your `build.gradle` as a dependency ```gradle repositories { maven { name = "Modrinth" url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven" content { includeGroup "maven.modrinth" } } }

dependencies { modImplementation "maven.modrinth:coloredglowlib:" } ```

NOTE there currently is a f***ing annoying bug that I can't seem to fix, requiring you to add CardinalComponentsAPI to your project as well, and you can do that by adding these as dependencies: ```gradle repositories { maven { name = "Ladysnake Mods" url = 'https://maven.ladysnake.org/releases' } }

dependencies { modImplementation("dev.onyxstudios.cardinal-components-api:cardinal-components-base:5. 4. 0") modImplementation("dev.onyxstudios.cardinal-components-api:cardinal-components-entity:5. 4. 0") modImplementation("dev.onyxstudios.cardinal-components-api:cardinal-components-scoreboard:5. 4. 0") } ```

You can find the correct version in the (https://modrinth.com/mod/coloredglowlib/versions) on (https://modrinth.com/mod/coloredglowlib). If you want the forge version, add a +forge to the number version. (NOTE: Not currently availbale for 3. 0. 0)

If you already need CardinalComponetsAPI modules in your mod, consider downloading the version of the mod that doesn't already include them, by adding a +nocca in the version format. The modules needed are: base, entity, scoreboard.
