✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Clean and simple—does exactly what it says, no clutter.
- Recent update (May 2026) means it's likely compatible with current game version.
- Niche but useful for players who think in distance, not time.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 111 endorsements—small user base, so less community testing.
- UI mods can conflict with other UI overhauls—no compatibility notes provided.
For players who hate the 'time to marker' display and want raw distance numbers instead. If you're a navigator who thinks in kilometers, this is for you. Skip if you're happy with the default time display or use heavy UI mods that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a UI mod, check for conflicts with other UI mods you have installed—load order might matter.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it like any other mod and test in-game to see the distance display.
- If you're on a multiplayer server, make sure the mod is allowed—some servers restrict UI tweaks.
