✨ Features
Fully Passive System: There are no craftable items to manage or inventory slots to waste. Far Sight works automatically in the background, allowing you to use your standard weapons and armor without interruption.
Interactive HUD Toggle: The UI is active by default. If you want to temporarily disable it, simply click the custom "Far Sight Spyglass" text button located next to your minimap in the top-right corner of your screen.
Long-Range Detection: Instantly pulls precise data from creatures up to 150 units away just by aiming your crosshair at them.
Multiplayer Friendly: Automatically ignores other players to keep your screen clear during cooperative sessions.
📊 Dynamic Visual UI
Health Bar: Displays a visual health bar that scales accurately, alongside exact numerical HP values.
Star Ratings: Converts creature levels into intuitive star icons (★). Built to be inherently compatible with overhaul mods that add 3, 4, or 5+ star creatures.
Status Effects & Auras: Detects and displays active vanilla debuffs (Wet, Burning) and custom modded auras, complete with their localized names and in-game icons.
Taming Info: Clearly identifies if a target is Wild, Tameable, or already Tamed.
