⚠️ Cons
- Last updated June 2026 — might not be compatible with future game patches
- Only affects map icons — if you want other UI improvements, this won't help
For 7 Days to Die players who squint at the map trying to find their backpack or trader. If you've ever missed a loot stash because the icon blended into the terrain, this is for you. Skip if you're happy with vanilla icons or want a full UI overhaul.
