Alternative Map Icon Renderer is a Vintage Story mod by Rangelost. Alternative Map Icon Renderer improves player and waypoint icons on the Vintage Story world map with clearer outlines, stable sizing, and easier selection.
Why this mod is worth installing
Useful for players who rely on many waypoints or find the default map markers too small and difficult to select. It is a visual quality-of-life tweak rather than a content expansion.
What Alternative Map Icon Renderer adds
The mod slightly enlarges player and waypoint icons, replaces their soft shadows with bold outlines, and aligns them to the pixel grid. This makes markers easier to distinguish against the world map.
Waypoint icons keep a consistent size when the cursor passes over them instead of growing unexpectedly. Hover highlighting remains, while the clickable area is adjusted so editing an existing waypoint is less likely to create another one.
The mod can use square icons and provides commands for changing outline style, temporarily hiding waypoint markers, showing them again, and viewing the command summary. Waypoint numbers are also removed from hover text to reduce visual clutter.
