📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a clear UI improvement.
- Over 1,200 downloads show it's got a niche following.
- Last updated in May 2026, so it's fresh and likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 22 endorsements—small community, so you're on your own if issues pop up.
- Purely cosmetic UI change; if you're looking for gameplay overhauls, this isn't it.
