HexRareScanner

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

• Optional sound notification when a tracked creature is detected.
• Pins are automatically removed when the creature dies.
• Tracked creature pins can be manually removed by right-clicking them on the map.
