Configurables:

Limitations:
- Only English messaging for now (localization can be added in a future version)
- It won't inform you of creatures that already exist in an area.
- It only scrapes the logs, so if the logging changes it may break
- Text is always right justified for now, I may add this to the config in future.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Handy for players who want to know when events happen without alt-tabbing or checking logs.
- Lightweight and simple—does one job without bloat.
- Community has shown some interest (18 endorsements, 385 downloads).
⚠️ Cons
- Very niche—only useful if you specifically want log-based notifications.
- Last updated in 2022—may not work with the latest game version or mods.

For Valheim players who like to stay aware of world events like deer spawns or dungeon loads without manually checking logs. If you're a modder or power user who already uses BepInEx and Jotunn, this is a neat little addition. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely a notification tool.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure BepInEx is installed correctly and the game runs once before adding this mod.
