✨ Display Modes (cycle with Shift+F7) ✨
✖ Cross Mode
Red X on dangerous blocks, yellow X on blocks only safe during daytime, nothing on always-safe blocks. Clean and minimal.
🔴 Minimal Mode
Red numbers 0–7 on every block in that range. Quick danger-zone check with no extra noise.
🟢 Standard Mode
Numbers 0–15 on all blocks. Red for 0–7, green for 8–15. Full light level readout colored by value.
🟡 Advanced Mode
Numbers 0–15 on all blocks, but color is based on spawn danger: red for always-dangerous, yellow for daytime-only safe, green for always safe. Distinguishes block light vs sky light sources.
Custom Pixel-Art Numbers
Chunky, hand-crafted 5×7 bitmap digits rendered as colored quads directly on block faces. Bold, readable, and stylish — not blurry vanilla font text.
🎮 Controls 🎮
