Spawn Highlight

Spawn Highlight

Allows to highlight blocks where drifters can spawn.
Ever tired of drifter-proofing your base? This mod is for you!

Press Ctrl+L to show/hide highlights. Keybinding can be changed in the settings.

Default colors:
Red - drifters can spawn on this block
Green - drifters cannot spawn on this block because it is sufficiently lit
Not highlighted - drifter will never spawn on this block. Examples are lower slabs, stones and chiseled blocks

Remember that drifters will not spawn under sunlight, and will spawn anywhere they want while temporal storm is in progress.

To be more specific, the mod checks this rules for each block in radius:

1. Block has solid upper side
2. Upper block is air, tall grass or loose stones
3. Non-natural light level is greater than 6

This mod is quite similar to Easy Light Levels. You may check it too if you want wider configuration options.
