How do I open the More Overlays Updated config menu?
Press the mod's config hotkey (check your Controls settings for the More Overlays keybind) to open the overlay settings screen in-game. From there you can enable or disable each overlay and adjust its options.
How do I turn on the light level overlay?
Open the config screen with the hotkey and enable the light overlay, or bind a separate toggle key for it. Once active, it highlights blocks by light level so you can spot dark areas where mobs can spawn.
Why is my chunk boundary overlay not showing?
The overlay is probably disabled in the config or its toggle key isn't bound. Open the config screen, make sure the chunk boundary overlay is enabled, and check that the toggle hotkey isn't conflicting with another mod.
Does More Overlays Updated work on servers?
Yes, it's a client-side mod, so it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. The overlays are rendered locally on your client and don't affect other players.
How do I change the hotkeys for the overlays?
Go to Options, then Controls, and look for the More Overlays keybinds section. You can rebind each overlay toggle there; if a key won't assign, it's already taken by another mod or vanilla action.
Can I use More Overlays Updated with other minimap or overlay mods?
It generally coexists with minimap and HUD mods, but overlapping keybinds or conflicting render layers can cause issues. If an overlay stops appearing, check for keybind conflicts and try disabling other overlay mods to isolate the problem.
How do I use the mob spawning overlay to find spawnable spots?
Enable the mob spawning overlay and it marks blocks where mobs can spawn based on light level and block type. Use it to check floors, ceilings, and corners of your farm for spots you missed.
Why does the light overlay show different colors?
The colors represent different light levels, with darker or redder areas indicating lower light where mobs can spawn. Use the color scale to quickly judge whether a spot is safe or needs torches.
Does More Overlays Updated hurt performance?
It's lightweight since it only renders overlays when enabled, but having many overlays on at once in a large area can cost some FPS. Turn off overlays you aren't actively using to keep performance smooth.
How do I reset the overlay settings to default?
Open the config screen and look for a reset or defaults button, or delete the mod's config file and restart the game to regenerate it. This restores all overlay toggles and hotkeys to their original state.
