Reduce Visual Clutter During Combat

Lower Fire and Shield Overlays

The pack automatically reduces the size and opacity of fire animations and blocking shields that normally cover your screen during fights. This keeps your view of enemies clear without disabling the mechanics entirely.

What you'll notice:

  • Fire overlay when taking damage appears smaller and less obstructive
  • Shield blocking animations (when you hold a shield) no longer dominate your view
  • Your crosshair and enemy positioning remain fully visible

Trim Held Items

Weapons, tools, and the Totem of Undying render much smaller in your hand and off to the side, freeing up central screen space.

In practice:

  • Swords and axes take up minimal space during PvP
  • The Totem of Undying won't block your view if it saves you
  • You maintain full awareness of incoming attacks

Particle Reduction

Explosion particles, fire particles, and leaf particles are removed entirely. Rain and snow effects are heavily trimmed, so weather won't obscure your vision during combat or exploration.

These changes work together to keep your focus on threats and targets rather than visual noise.
