Frequently asked questions
How do I turn on item glow?
Item Glow activates automatically once the data pack is loaded into your world—all dropped items within 100 blocks of you will start glowing right away. There are no commands or settings to toggle; it works from the moment you load it.
Why aren't my dropped items glowing?
Check that the data pack is actually enabled in your world settings (look for it in the datapacks folder or world menu). Items only glow if they're within 100 blocks of a player, so if you've traveled far away, they'll stop glowing.
Do eggs glow like other items?
No, eggs are specifically excluded and will not glow even when dropped near you.
Can I change the glow color or brightness?
Item Glow Data Pack provides a subtle glow effect with no built-in customization options for color or brightness—the glow appearance is fixed.
