Enhanced Overlay Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Where do I open the mod settings?
Open your mod menu (usually accessed through the mods list or a dedicated config button) and find Enhanced Overlay Mod in the list, then click its config or settings button. The exact location depends on which mod menu you're using, but the settings should open a screen with toggles and sliders for all the overlay options.
How do I turn off the scoreboard?
Open the mod settings and look for the scoreboard option, then toggle it off. You can also customize its appearance instead of hiding it completely if you prefer to keep it but change how it looks.
Can I hide potion effect particles but keep other particles?
Yes—the mod has a specific setting to hide only your own potion effect bubbles in first-person view, which won't affect other particle types like fire, water splashes, or enchantment effects. Other players' potion particles will still be visible to you.
Do I need to enchant items to add the glow effect?
No, that's the whole point of this feature—you can add the enchantment glow to any item, even unenchanted ones. The fake glow uses the real enchantment texture, so it looks identical to actual enchanted items.
Will this mod work with other mods that change the HUD?
It should work with most HUD mods, but conflicts can happen if two mods try to control the same element (like the scoreboard or chat). If you experience overlapping text or missing elements, try disabling the conflicting feature in one of the mods.
Can I customize player name tags above heads?
Yes, the mod lets you change how floating player name tags appear, including their size, color, and background. You can also hide them entirely if you prefer a cleaner view.
Does this mod affect performance?
Enhanced Overlay Mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable lag, but disabling features you don't use (like the fake enchantment glow or name tag customization) can help if you're playing on a low-end system.
How do I remove the background box from floating text in the world?
The mod automatically removes background boxes from floating text displays and adds a shadow instead—this is a built-in feature you can't toggle off, but you can customize the shadow appearance in the settings.
Can I hide the boss bar like I can hide the scoreboard?
Yes, the mod includes options to hide or customize the bossbar just like the scoreboard. You can toggle it off completely or adjust its appearance.
What happens if I change a setting and don't like it?
You can change any setting back at any time through the mod menu—there's no permanent change. If you want to reset everything to defaults, look for a reset button in the settings screen.
