Effect Preview
Hold an item to get a live preview on how it will change your status effects before even using it
About this mod Author’s original text
Shows you exactly how much of each status effect will be added/removed before having to use the held item. All with clear indicators and purely through the game's own stamina bars which keeps the UI minimal.
Fully client-sided: only you need to install the mod and only you will see it's effects.
Features
- See status effect changes of the held item
- Hold an item at a lit campfire/stove and press C to see how it's stats would change when cooked
- Tell when you'd fall unconscious or turn into a statue through item usage
- See how much longer Invincibility, Infinite Stamina, or Speed Boost will last
- Know when you'd waste an item's precious stats (Off by default)
- Preview an item's effect just by aiming at it on the ground while empty-handed (Off by default)
- Know when an affliction will start to decay and when it finishes decaying (Off by default)
- See status effect counts/numbers (Off by default)

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
