public void run() {
//Set the event's player glowing in DARK_AQUA for all online players

Api looks very promising i like to use it but got some problems. First in maven the depency 1.4.7-SNAPSHOT maven cant find it. So i added it manualy in maven i can acces the api now and looks good but then when i try to setGlowing i get an NoClassFoundException for GlowAPI.Color

The API is really clean, but when testing with 1.12.2 spigot, seems nothing works? No errors no nothing. And on the top of the post, says it's been tested with 1.9-1.12.2, not sure if it's just me or what.
