Limitations

Nametag/tabname

Issue:

• Your nametag will get the color of the active glow. This can also be the case for your tabname

Solution:

Depending on the MC version you use there are ways to bypass this:

• MC version < 1.21.2 + TAB version < 5.0.0 + compatible eGlow version:

  • enable smart-TAB-nametag-handler in the eGlow Config.yml.

• MC version > 1.19.4:

  • Use the CustomNameplates plugin (12$).

• MC Version > 1.20.1

  • Use the UnlimitedNametags plugin (14.99$)

    • Requires the PacketEvents plugin to work (Free)

• MC version > 1.20.5

  • Use the DisplayNameTags plugin (Free)

    • Requires the PacketEvents plugin to work (Free)

    • Requires Paper to work

There are NO other solutions this as it's a vanilla behavior and part of the game. To change this vanilla behavior please upvote this: Minecraft feedback - my suggestion

Optifine

• Some setting in optifine render the glow effect incorrectly.

Solution:

Mods

Issue:

Solution:

• Uninstall the mods that cause this or ignore it.
