Datapack Bell Highlights

Bell Highlights, reveal nearby mobs with bells

Bell Highlights is a Minecraft Java datapack that gives bells a practical tracking function. Place selected blocks above a bell, or hold specific items while ringing it, and the pack detects matching mobs and applies the glowing effect, helping you locate creatures hidden in caves, walls, or unlit areas.

It supports many pairings, including mob heads, an emerald block for villagers, cobwebs for spiders, sculk shriekers for wardens, and more. Detection normally begins within 32 blocks and highlights matching mobs within 48 blocks. A Nether Star in the offhand doubles those distances. We recommend Bell Highlights for a utility focused Minecraft server experience from BoxToPlay.
