Glow Ink to Glowstone Dust

Glow Ink Sacs were added to the game with 3 purposes:

• Making signs glow
• Crafting glowing item frames
• Being a drop for Glow Squids

This is obviously wasteful and causes inventory clutter for no reason. This lightweight mod solves this issue by replacing all of these uses with the already pre-existing glowing item, Glowstone Dust!

Compatibility

• Moog’s Glow Up
• Supplementaries
• EMI/JEI & EMI Loot
• Confirmed to automatically work with Iron’s Spells ‘n Spellbooks
• Confirmed to automatically work with Hybrid Aquatic

Features

• Glow Ink Sacs will no longer be present in the game, all recipes will be dynamically & performantly replaced with Glowstone Dust instead (should be compatible with all mods)
• Glowstone dust can now be used on signs to make them glow (Supplementaries’ Way Signs work too!)
• Glow Squids now drop a variable amount of Glowstone Dust instead of Glow Ink Sacs.

Optional: Squid Ink Changes

These changes are enabled by default, but can be disabled using the config.

• Ink Sacs will no longer be present in the game, all recipes will be dynamically & performantly replaced with Black Dye instead (should be compatible with all mods)
• Wet Sponges (reusable) and Water Bottles (turns into empty bottle) can clean glowing sign text, replacing vanilla Ink Sac functionality

Support

Submit feedback and suggestions on the Issues tab.

Multi-loader and Multi-version support will come… eventually. Add a issues post if you specifically want this mod on other versions or loaders.
