📋 About This Mod
Hi everyone, so this is pretty much the same mod as the Better Icons mod by Philozoraptor.
I have redone it from scratch and made it to my own liking.
I have tried my best to not make it intrusive or distracting and blend in to the natural design of the game as much as possible.
Working with 1. 11 and New Game+

Chose if you want the combined pack or specific item types under miscellaneous. Let NMM do the rest
Manual Install
Same as above but unpack and place the "modXXX" folder into your "The Witcher 3/mods/" directory manually. If you do not have a mod directory, create one.
Bugs/Issues
Game blurs some of the icons, so some of the text sharpness is lost in-game. Not sure how to solve this if its even possible.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,100 endorsements and 28,139 downloads—clearly a popular QoL mod.
- Simple, focused purpose: text labels for alchemy items, exactly what it says on the tin.
- Last updated in 2015, but for a UI text mod, it likely still works fine with the base game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLCs.
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
- Only affects alchemy items; if you want text for other inventory categories, this mod won't help.
For Witcher 3 players who struggle to tell their potions and oils apart at a glance and want a quick visual fix. Skip if you're on the latest game version and worried about mod compatibility, or if you prefer overhauling your entire UI.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod was last updated in 2015, check if you're using the Game of the Year edition—it may need a compatibility patch.
- If you use other UI mods, install Icon Text first and test in-game to ensure no overlapping text.
- Back up your original game files before installing, just in case you need to revert.
