Better Low Health Warning

A lightweight BepInEx mod for SULFUR that adds a stronger and more visible low-health warning.

When your health gets low, this mod displays a soft red vignette around the screen.
The effect becomes stronger as your health gets lower.

What This Mod Does

This mod adds a configurable visual warning when the player is at low health.

Default behavior:

Health above 35%        -> no extra warning
Health at 35% or below  -> soft red vignette warning
Health at 15% or below  -> stronger critical warning

The warning fades in and out smoothly.

Pulse animation is enabled by default.

Why

SULFUR already has a low-health HUD indicator, but it can be easy to miss during combat.

This mod makes low health easier to notice without changing game balance.

What This Mod Does NOT Do

This mod does not change:

Player health
Max health
Enemy damage
Healing amount
Food effects
Medicine effects
Difficulty
Enemy behavior
Original HUD logic

It does not automatically heal the player.

It does not make the player invincible.

It only adds a stronger visual warning.
