ItsZenEXE's Ping and UI Improvements
This is part of a larger modpack which you can find here!
This was meant to be a more "vanilla" text-only mod for myself initially, but decided to share it publicly due to popular demand! I know I enjoy not needing a wiki page open in the background anymore, and I hope you do too!
Contents
In this portion of the modpack you'll find:
- Updates to many aspects of the the ping system to provide more consistency. The list below goes more into specifics:
- Updated the base ping to be more generalistic (ie, "wants to move here!" is now "is pointing over there!")
- All pings start with the same green text as the default ping. The color then changes to match the object/enemy pinged.
- This helps provide consistency for all pings and prevent people glancing at the chat and seeing red text, assuming an ally died, which has been a complaint I have heard many times about the old system.
- Many other aspsects of the text chat and UI as a whole have also been updated, with a very detailed list below:
- Lunar Coins now have consistency in their text, and always show the lunar coin icon next to their text.
- Almost every shrine has been updated to better convey at a glance the outcomes of the shrine's use. Examples below:
- Shrine of Blood now uses red text for the "Searing Pain" text, but the gold gained is the normal color.
- The Shrine of Chance now uses red text when it is failed.
- Mountain Shrines are considered World Events now.
- Being sequenced now shows as red text.
- Many "World Event" texts have been updated to make them easier to notice at a glance, as well as to emphasize the impact they have on a run. The following list all now count as "world events" and have their text changed in some way to signify this.
- The Bazaar's Seers when used
- Family Events
- Monsters picking up items
- Orbs appearing
- Portals opening
- Ancient Gates opening
- Void Seeds Collapsing
- Bosses spawning due to world events (Siren's Call Boss)
- Mountain Shrines being activated and used
- All instance of teleporters in the UI now also have the teleporter icon next to it.
- The Primordial Teleporter's destination text has been changed to be easier to read at a glance.
- Updated certain chest descriptons when inspected to showcase base item drop chances.
- This does NOT include the item type specific chests, as that is something I wish to add in the future but is not done just yet.
- Some Final Bosses have death messages now for fun nods to lore, and to make their deaths feel more impactful.
It is worth noting that none of this would be in-line with other modded content. If you install other mods that change the base game's stats, this mod will not be correct anymore, nor will it apply to new content!

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:
