How to Make Elytra Trims Glow in the Dark

Adding a Luminescent Trim Effect

By default, armor trims on elytras match the ambient lighting of your environment. You can apply a glowing effect so your trim patterns remain vibrant and visible even in pitch-black conditions or during night flights.

1. Ensure you have an elytra that already has an armor trim applied to it.

2. Obtain a Glow Ink Sac from an underwater glow squid.

3. Apply the Glow Ink Sac to your trimmed elytra to activate the glowing effect.

4. Equip the elytra in your chestplate slot to see the result.

Viewing in Low Light

Once treated with a Glow Ink Sac, the trim pattern will stand out clearly against the dark sky, deep caves, or nighttime terrain. This cosmetic effect illuminates only the trim lines themselves, making your flight patterns easily recognizable to other players on a server without altering the mechanical flight stats of your elytra.
