How to Check Active Status Effects in Your Inventory

Inspecting Active Status Icons

When your character is afflicted or buffed by status effects during combat, exploration, or beacon exposure, you can view real-time explanations without leaving the game.

1. Open your player inventory screen (default key E).

2. Locate the active effect icons displayed alongside your inventory window.

3. Hover your mouse cursor directly over the icon of the effect you want to check.

4. Read the tooltip box that appears over the icon to view its details.

Understanding Effect Details

Instead of merely displaying an icon and a timer, Effect Insights Mod renders a clean, styled description directly over the active icon:

• Immediate Explanations: Instantly learn the exact impact of positive buffs or harmful debuffs affecting your character.
• Modded Effect Support: If a modded mob or hazard hits you with a custom status effect, hovering over its active icon reveals the mod's explanation for that specific effect.
