Effect Timer Plus Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Where do I find the mod settings?
Open your mod configuration menu (usually accessible from the main menu or pause screen depending on your mod loader), then find Effect Timer Plus Mod in the list. All text color, opacity, shadow, background, and scaling options are adjustable there.
How do I change the color of the countdown timer text?
In the mod config, locate the text color option and select your desired color. You can also set a separate color specifically for the low-time warning state, which activates when the effect is about to expire.
Can I make the timer text bigger or smaller?
Yes, the mod includes a text scaling option in the config menu that lets you adjust the size independently from the effect icon size. You can also scale the effect icons themselves separately.
What does the potency indicator show?
The potency indicator displays the amplification level of a status effect (for example, Strength II or Weakness III), so you can see at a glance how powerful the effect is.
How do I turn off timers for things like Saturation but keep them for Strength?
Use the 'hide timers on ambient effects' option in the config to disable countdown displays on passive effects like Saturation and Regeneration, while combat-relevant buffs and debuffs will still show their timers.
Can I add a background or shadow behind the timer text?
Yes, the mod has separate toggle options for text shadow and text background in the config menu. You can enable either or both to improve readability against different backgrounds.
Does the low-time warning flash or just change color?
The low-time warning can do both—you can enable color change, flashing, or both together. Configure which behavior you prefer in the mod settings.
Where can I position the timer text on the effect icon?
The mod offers multiple text position options in the config, allowing you to place the countdown in different corners or locations relative to the effect icon.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Effect Timer Plus Mod is designed to be lightweight and should have minimal performance impact. If you experience issues, try disabling shadow or background rendering, or reducing text scaling.
Does this mod work with other mods that change status effects?
The mod is generally compatible with most mods, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify the HUD or status effect display. If you notice visual glitches, check your mod load order or disable conflicting visual mods.
