📋 About This Mod
Prawn Suit Light Switch ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Allows you to toggle on/off the Prawn Suit lights by pressing the middle mouse / scroll wheel button (configurable). This was something that was excluded in the normal game, likely due to the fact that pressing right click (the default toggle light key for things) triggers the right Prawn arm

[]BepInEx Pack for Subnautica
This BepInEx mod for Subnautica adds a toggle for the Prawn Suit's lights, bound to the middle mouse or scroll wheel button, which is configurable. It addresses a feature missing from the base game. With 204 endorsements and recent updates, it's a practical quality-of-life improvement for Prawn Suit users.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap in the base game—Prawn Suit lights are always on, and this gives you control.
- Configurable key binding means you can set it to whatever feels natural.
- Active mod with 204 endorsements and a June 2026 update, so it's likely maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires BepInEx, so you'll need to set that up if you haven't already.
- Only affects the Prawn Suit—no other vehicles or lights.
- Small mod, so don't expect extra features beyond the toggle.
For Subnautica players who spend a lot of time in the Prawn Suit and want to manage their light output, whether for stealth or to save battery. It's a simple QoL tweak for anyone who finds the always-on lights annoying. Skip if you rarely use the Prawn Suit or prefer gameplay-changing mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have BepInEx installed correctly—place the BepInEx folder in your Subnautica root directory and run the game once to generate the plugins folder.
- After installing the mod, check the config file in BepInEx/config to change the key binding if the default doesn't suit you.
- If the mod doesn't work, verify your BepInEx version matches the game's version—Subnautica updates can break mods.
