Exhaustedsquid Posted September 20, 2025 Report Posted September 20, 2025 I know for a short time after you die you get a glowing affect in the base game. I'm playing in a multiplayer server with one other person and when we die that mechanic isn't in place. Did we turn it off some how? Is it a bug? Can we fix it?

I am not entirely sure what governs the glow, but I believe it's at least partially related to how quickly you pick up your stuff after death, at least assuming you didn't have "keep inventory" turned on. The glow seems to fade as soon as you pick up your lost items. It may also be related to time of day as well. The glow is there mainly to help you find your way back to your stuff if it's dark, so if it's still bright outside the glow effect may not be noticeable, if it applies at all.
Exhaustedsquid Posted September 20, 2025 Author Report Posted September 20, 2025 Yea, it's before we pick up our stuff and directly in the middle of the night. Even directly after respawn there is no glow.
Solution Never Jhonsen Posted September 20, 2025 Solution Report Posted September 20, 2025 Before 1.21, the tealish death glow was on a timer that would slowly fade. I think it was 5 minutes before it went completely out However, I too have not seen it since 1.21.0 came out. I'll say that's a bug 1 1
Judgedmental Posted September 24, 2025 Report Posted September 24, 2025 Also here to confirm there does not appear to be a seraph glow upon respawn in 1.21.1, tested on fresh test vanilla only world dying to fall damage and respawn in the dark, naked and afraid.
Echo Weaver Posted September 24, 2025 Report Posted September 24, 2025 Haha. And after reading this, I saw a new devlog and the new release candidate says: Quote Fixed: Missing self teal glow after respawning So, yeah, they're on it. 2 1
Maelstrom Posted September 24, 2025 Report Posted September 24, 2025 Not glowing upon return to returning point? Remember to eat your fruits, veggies and temporal gear for a healthy radioactive life. 1
Minowara Posted October 10, 2025 Report Posted October 10, 2025 It kind of seems like this should be a configurable option. I started playing 1.21.1 with no glow. The glow feels cheaty and like the game is holding my hand. Feels against the spirit of the rest of the game. Besides, I made a temporal amulet specifically to give myself an emergency glow, and this sort of makes that decision redundant and takes away my player agency.
