How it works

Glimmer Dust charges a stack of glowstone dust with telltale light. Right-click with the charged dust, and for one minute every creature within 15 blocks of you is outlined through walls, for your eyes alone. Glimmer Dust kindles — nearby creatures outline for a minute. Each use spends one charge.

The colours match the Glowstick: players yellow, hostile mobs red, neutral mobs white, and friendly mobs green.

Enchantment

The enchantment is called Glimmer Dust. Hold glowstone dust while you wake the rune.
