## How to install?

### 1st method: copying the class

Copy the [GlowingEntities.java class](src/main/java/fr/skytasul/glowingentities/GlowingEntities.java) to your project

(and the [GlowingBlocks.java class](src/main/java/fr/skytasul/glowingentities/GlowingBlocks.java) if required).

### 2nd method: using maven

Add this requirement to your maven `pom.xml` file:

```xml

  fr.skytasul

  glowingentities

  {VERSION}

  compile

```

Additionnally, you can use the maven shade plugin to relocate the classes location.

> [!NOTE]  

> Until 1.3.4, the util was under the groupId `io.github.skytasul`.  

> After 1.3.5, it has changed to `fr.skytasul`.

## How to use?

### Make entities glow

1. Initialize the `GlowingEntities` object somewhere where you can easily get it, using `new GlowingEntities(plugin)`.

It is not recommended to create multiple `GlowingEntities` instances!

2. Use `GlowingEntities#setGlowing(Entity entity, Player receiver, ChatColor color)` to make an entity glow a color for a player!

3. You can change its glowing color by reusing the same method but changing the `color` parameter.

4. If you no longer wants your entity to glow, use `GlowingEntities#unsetGlowing(Entity entity, Player receiver)`.

5. When you are completely done with the glowing API (for instance, when your plugin is shutting down), remember to use `GlowingEntities#disable()`.

### Make blocks glow

The same as before but with the `GlowingBlocks` class :)

> **Warning**

> The `GlowingBlocks` util can only be used on Paper-based servers, not Bukkit or Spigot ones!
