Spotting Teammates in Dark Caves and at Night
Preparing Your Group for Low-Light Exploration
Exploring deep caves or venturing out into the wilderness at night can make it easy to lose track of other players. Because this shader makes all armor trims glow brightly in pitch-black environments, you can use trimmed gear as visible player markers.
1. Ensure all members of your group have armor pieces enhanced with trims.
2. Have players choose distinct trim materials or patterns so you can tell individuals apart even at a distance.
3. Equip the trimmed armor before heading into underground ravines or nighttime terrain.
Navigating in the Dark
When mining or traveling without abundant light sources:
- Keep an eye out for moving glowing lines along cave walls or distant hillsides. The emissive effect allows trims to stand out against pitch-black terrain without requiring placed torches.
- Use the distinct trim patterns to confirm a friend's position before engaging hostile mobs in the dark.
- Regroup quickly after combat by looking for the glowing silhouettes of your teammates' armor sets.
