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.
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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
