The pack only lights up armor trims, so you need trimmed armor before you see any glow. Trims are added with vanilla mechanics, and the shader takes care of the rest.
Add a trim at the smithing table
1. Get a smithing template for the trim pattern you want. Templates are found as loot in structures around the world.
2. Open a smithing table.
3. Place the template, your armor piece and a trim material such as an ingot, gem or crystal in the slots.
4. Take the trimmed armor from the output slot.
5. Repeat for each piece you want to glow. Every trimmed piece lights up, so trimming the full set gives you the most visible outline.
Pick trims that read well in the dark
- The material sets the trim color. Because the trim itself glows, the color you choose becomes the color you shine in caves.
- Bolder patterns show up better from a distance. Patterns that cover more of the armor give a larger glowing area.
- Match colors across your set if you want a clean, recognizable look, or mix them for a more striking effect.
The base armor keeps its vanilla style, and only the trim lines light up.
