NoMeadGlow

Removes the glowing character VFX (particles/light) that plays while a mead or potion buff is active — Healing Mead, Stamina Mead, Eitr Mead, Love Potion, Berserkir Mead, Anti-Sting Concoction, Draught of Vananidir, Tonic of Ratatosk, Mead of Troll Endurance, Brew of Animal Whispers, and Lightfoot Mead.

The drinking sound and the drinking animation are not affected — only the glow/particle effect is removed. Other status effects (staff powers, boss buffs, etc.) are left completely untouched.

Why

Some mead VFX are bright enough to be distracting during exploration, screenshots, or building. This mod strips just the glow, nothing else.

Compatibility

• Client-side only. No configuration needed — the mod just works after installing it.
• Should be safe to use on servers where other players don't have it installed, since it only affects what renders on your own client.

Installation

Install via a mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager), or manually by dropping the DLL into your BepInEx/plugins folder.

Source

The mod uses Harmony to patch EffectList.Create and temporarily strip visual-only prefabs (particle systems / lights) while a known mead/potion status effect is starting, updating, or stopping. Non-visual prefabs (sounds) are left in the list, so drinking still sounds and looks (via animation) the same.

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md.

Changelog

1.0.1

• Fixed the mead drinking sound being silenced along with the glow. Visual and audio prefabs are no longer removed from the effect list; instead the glow (particles/lights/renderers) is disabled on a stripped clone while the original sound-bearing prefab keeps playing normally.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
• Removes glow VFX for all mead/potion buffs while keeping drinking sound and animation.
• No configuration required.
