Block Overlay is a Vintage Story mod by Xel. Block Overlay is a cheat and utility mod for Vintage Story that provides an x-ray-style view to help reveal blocks hidden behind surfaces.
Why this mod is worth installing
It is intended for players who need to inspect underground spaces or locate hidden blocks more easily. Because it changes visibility beyond normal gameplay, it is best suited to private worlds or situations where cheats are allowed.
What Block Overlay adds
Block Overlay focuses on an x-ray-like presentation: blocks normally concealed by terrain can become easier to identify, helping you inspect caves, tunnels, deposits, and other enclosed areas without removing every layer first.
This is a visibility and convenience tool rather than a content expansion. It does not add new materials, recipes, creatures, or locations; its purpose is to make hidden block information more accessible, with the obvious risk of reducing exploration and mining challenge.
