CompactStatusEffects

A clean, modern, and customizable status effects HUD for Valheim that organizes your active buffs and debuffs directly beneath the minimap.

Features

• Perfectly Positioned Under Minimap:

  • Moves the vanilla status effect list to a neat vertical column directly below the minimap (X: -180, Y: -290 by default).
  • Keeps your center screen and combat view completely open and distraction-free.

• Clean Visual Hierarchy:

  • Left: High-resolution status effect icon and animated cooldown ring.
  • Right: Effect name aligned cleanly beside the icon with non-wrapping overflow protection.
  • Below Icon: Remaining duration countdown timer is centered directly under the icon for active buffs/debuffs (potions, rested bonus, food, etc.).

• Real-Time In-Game Settings Panel (F8 / ESC):

  • Press F8 at any time while playing to open the in-game configuration window.
  • Adjustments apply live in real-time on your HUD so you can fine-tune your layout visually.
  • Horizontal Position (X) & Vertical Position (Y): Pixel-perfect placement anywhere on your screen.
  • Overall Scale: Dynamically resize the entire HUD (0.40x to 1.60x).
  • Vertical Spacing: Adjust the gap between effect rows.
  • Fine-Tuning Buttons (+ / -): Step buttons alongside sliders for precise single-pixel adjustments.
  • Reset Preset: Instantly snap back to the recommended minimap layout with a single click.

• Zero Clutter & Lightweight:

  • No permanent on-screen buttons or overlay text to distract your immersion.
  • Native TextMeshPro rendering for crisp typography at any resolution.
