ZenHoverItem

Show item icons on the cursor because the human brain recognizes images much faster than it recognizes words. Quickly identify things via the inventory item icon.

NOTE: Fireplaces and torches show remaining fuel as number of days left, not hours minutes and seconds because the game uses days as a unit of time, not clocks. However, this requires the day length to be 2000 seconds instead of 1800 for accurate round number measurements. Install the ZenWorldSettings mod to set the day length to 2000 seconds.

Client / Server Requirements

NOTE: Technically it is not required on the server. However, if it is installed on the server then it will force all clients to have it installed as well. This is to enable two modes of usage:

1. Dedicated server admins can put the mod on the server to enforce all clients to have the mod installed and sync admin configs.
2. Trusted friends can agree to run the same mods and connect through a vanilla dedicated server with no enforcement but with locked admin configs.

Client Only

This mod operates entirely client side. That means you can connect to any vanilla server with this mod installed. Other players do not need to have the mod installed.

NOTE: If you host a game session with this mod installed then it will be considered to be installed on the server since your session is the server. Therefor, all clients will be required to have it. If you don't want to require all players to have this mod then you will need to host your game in a dedicated server. You can easily download and run the Valheim Dedicated Server from Steam or host one in the cloud.
