About this mod Author’s original text

ShardGlow

Your weapon glows in the element of your Epic Loot shards. Socket an Eikthyr shard in

your trinket and your axe crackles blue.

What's in it

  • The weapon or tool in your hands glows, lighting up the area around you about as

brightly as a torch, and the weapon itself glows too.

  • Your trinket's shard picks the color. With no elemental shard in your trinket,

the weapon's own shard is used instead.

  • Eight elements: Lightning, Fire, Frost, Poison, Spirit, Necrotic, Nature and Eitr.

Boss shards count too: Eikthyr is lightning, Moder is frost, Yagluth is fire, and so on.

  • A gentle pulse, so the glow breathes rather than sitting flat.
  • Configurable: brightness, radius, pulse, colors, and which elements glow at all.

Requires Epic Loot. Other players see your glow if they have the mod too; the server

doesn't need it.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
