    About

    Glowtone is a utility mod that lets resource packs add visual effects to blocks and items, including coloured lighting, emissive textures, ambient occlusion, edge highlights, and other block shaders. You can use its built-in assets, Glowtone’s own resource pack, or your own packs to configure these effects; the mod also supports emissive overlays on block and item models and changing block render layers. Examples include glowing Glow Lichen, Copper Bulbs, Trial Spawners, Vaults, Sea Lanterns, redstone blocks and particles, and magma, as well as emissive item details. Resource-pack features include settings-driven options and smaller overlays that can be applied or removed based on those settings, along with billboard shaders and tinted skylight effects.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. Only in its files for Fabric 1.21 to 1.21.1, 26.2; NeoForge 1.21 to 1.21.1.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 9 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      9 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 9 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.

    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Creates settings files
      In the classes GlowtoneMixinOptions, GlowtoneConfig and ModelManagerMixin.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 9 files read
    • Files readWe read the code. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 9 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its code history yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
