Toggle Highlighting On and Off During Gameplay

Quick Toggle Control

You don't need to restart the game or open menus to turn highlighting on or off. The mod provides an instant toggle for situations where you need to see all drops or temporarily disable the effect.

Using the Toggle Key

Press O on your keyboard to instantly turn the highlight effect on or off. This works while you're playing—no need to pause or access settings. The change takes effect immediately on all dropped items in your world.

When to Toggle Off

Disable highlighting when:

  • You're decorating and don't want glowing outlines ruining your screenshots
  • You want to see the raw game without visual effects
  • You're looking for a specific item and want to see all drops clearly without filtered items hidden
  • You're testing or troubleshooting other mods

When to Toggle On

Re-enable highlighting whenever you're actively gathering resources, farming, or exploring. The outlines make looting significantly faster and prevent you from accidentally leaving valuable items behind.
