SpawnTracker
Shows where creatures respawn around you and how long until they come back.
Press F8 to toggle.
Features
- Floating labels over every nearby spawner with the creature, distance and status.
- A list of the closest spawners on the right side of the screen.
- Fixed spawners (crypt Draugr and Skeletons, tar pit Growths, location creatures):
Alive, Respawns in 12:34, Ready and what is blocking it (night only, too far, inside a player base, world progress).
- Spawn areas (Greydwarf nests, bone piles, Draugr spawners): countdown to the next spawn and how many creatures are near versus the maximum.
The text is in Spanish for now.

Notes
- Read-only: it never changes spawns or world data. Client-side only.
- Timers use world time, so sleeping advances them.
- In multiplayer, spawn area timers are only visible to the player who owns that zone.
- Random world spawns (the ones without a fixed point) are not shown.
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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
