About this Mod
⚠️ Attention!
🎥 Preview
A subtle vanilla-friendly QoL warning marker for off-screen danger.
More awareness. Less panic.
🧠 What is this?
A small awareness mod that helps you keep control of the situation.
It adds a compact segmented marker around the crosshair when a nearby threat is just outside your view.
✨ Why use it?
This mod is for players who:
- want a little more control over nearby danger
- prefer subtle QoL over loud HUD elements
- want something that still feels close to vanilla
- get startled by sudden zombie hits or creeper explosions
It is especially useful if sudden off-screen hits make you jump and you want a calmer warning before the damage happens.
