Glowing Texture Question

[Danickar]

I am wondering if there is a way to make a block that has a symbol on it and only that symbol glows.  My guess is based off all I have seen so far that there probably isn't, at least not just with a block by itself, but thought I would ask.

I have no idea how you'd do this....but Thaumcraft 3's ores did it.

You can do it with animated textures, or the "displaytick" method in Block.

Not sure animated textures without light from torches on them are going to display as full bright. :V

Someone in ModJam did this, and they put it up on github.

I was able to get their code working (to basically load their ore into my test code).  Now I can at least use this to figure out why everything is doing what it was doing.  Thank you very much for the help.
