# ✨ Glowing A **Minecraft Spigot/Paper plugin** that makes players **glow periodically**, providing a visual effect and optional gameplay consequences. Perfect for events, minigames, or PvP servers wanting dynamic glowing effects. --- ## ⚙️ Features - 🌟 Periodically applies **Glowing potion effect** to all online players - ⏱ Configurable duration and interval of the glow effect - ⚰️ Optionally penalizes players who log out during a glow (drops inventory and kills the player) - 💬 Sends messages to players when glow starts and ends - 🔧 Automatically handles glow removal on logout --- ## 📁 Installation 1.
