📋 About This Mod
Make Balloons not Meatpiles. What this mod will do is turn all meatpiles to glowing Balloons. The same one used for Make Balloons not bags mod. Reason for this over glowing is I hated the ones in water unable to get them. This will allow you to get them even under water and super easy to see from miles away. This idea was taken from the glowing meatpile and Make Balloons not meat piles. So credits go to them. I just made all my piles turn in to balloons so there super easy to see even in water.
If Anyone knows how to select other textures as this mod still uses the default ones that are coded in. Let me know I am having problem editing them and allowing them to be changed.
I went and added TallBalloons to make them even more easier to see.
added glowing variant of both tall and short Balloons.
