Vital Edge

Vital Edge renders a subtle 4-edge screen gradient that reflects your armor's durability — no HUD text, no icons, no new items. Just ambient color at the edges of your screen.

How it works

The overlay color shifts based on your equipped armor's aggregate durability:

Durability Color
70–100% Green
40–69% Amber
15–39% Orange
5–14% Red
<5% Pulsing red (shore wave)
  • No armor equipped → overlay off entirely
  • Partial armor → calculated from equipped slots only
  • Damage surge → heartbeat pulse on taking damage
  • Biome blend → subtle hue shift based on your current biome
  • Y-height modifier → brightens above Y=0, darkens below

Configuration (Mod Menu)

Setting Description
Overlay Toggle on/off
Edge Thickness How far the gradient bleeds inward (3–8%)
Steps Number of gradient bands (8–20)
Gradient Style Stepped (blocky) or Smooth (exponential fade)
Opacity Master transparency (0–50%)
Damage Surge Toggle heartbeat pulse on damage
Biome Blend Toggle biome hue tinting

Settings persist across sessions.
