⚠️ Cons

  • Only touches .dds files, so it's purely cosmetic—no gameplay changes

  • No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you'll have to test in-game

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you place the 'Bettermapicons' folder directly inside your game's 'mods' folder, not in a subfolder.
  • If you're using other map mods, install this one last to avoid conflicts with icon textures.
  • Since it edits .dds files, it's safe to remove by deleting the folder if you want to revert.
