HexRareScanner

Automatically adds minimap pins and plays a sound when selected rare creatures spawn. I hunt sea serpents and this mod helps track them.

Features

• Automatically adds pins to the minimap and world map when tracked creatures spawn
• Optional sound notification when a tracked creature is detected
• Pins are automatically removed when the creature dies
• Supports rare creature tracking (such as 2-star Wolves and 2-star Boars)
• Configurable through BepInEx configuration settings

This mod has only been tested in local single-player worlds.

Multiplayer compatibility is currently unknown and has not been tested on dedicated servers or multiplayer sessions.

Notes

• Creature pins are temporary and do not persist between game sessions
• Pins are removed automatically when the tracked creature dies
• Existing player-created map pins are never modified
• Multiple tracked creatures can be active simultaneously
• Each tracked creature receives its own unique map pin
• Sound notifications can be disabled in the configuration
