✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 13,716 endorsements and half a million downloads speak for themselves.
- Does exactly what it says: color-coded markers on both world map and mini-map, no bloat.
- Lightweight UI mod that won't impact performance or conflict with most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed feature list – you get colored markers, but don't expect customization options like choosing colors or shapes.
- Last updated May 2026 – if the game patches frequently, this might need an update to stay compatible.
- Purely cosmetic – if you're looking for map overhaul or new icons, this isn't it.
For players who find the default map markers hard to distinguish at a glance and want a quick visual upgrade. Also great for streamers or content creators who want clearer map visuals for their audience. Skip if you want deeper map customization or gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate – no extra steps needed.
- Check if the mod requires a specific game version; if the game updated recently, verify compatibility on the mod page.
- Since it's a UI mod, it should work with most other mods, but always test after installing other UI mods to avoid conflicts.
