⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a clear UI improvement.
Over 1,200 downloads show it's got a niche following.
Last updated in May 2026, so it's fresh and likely compatible with current game versions.

👎 Cons

Only 22 endorsements—small community, so you're on your own if issues pop up.
No install instructions or compatibility notes from the author—you'll need to figure it out yourself.
Purely cosmetic UI change; if you're looking for gameplay overhauls, this isn't it.
