📋 About This Mod
Quartz is a powerful UI framework that extends the existing 7 Days to Die UI system. It does this by adding new XUi widgets and XUi controllers that UI modders can use via xml edits to add them to the UI. These widgets and controllers are also usable in any C# mod to further get additional functionality out of Quartz.
This mod is not Easy Anti Cheat friendly and will require Easy Anti Cheat to be turned off for it to work. It also will only work on servers that have Easy Anti Cheat turned off.
