How to use [BETA Version]

The mod generates two config files after the first launch:

This file defines each screen preset, including:

• Preset name
• Title and body text
• Text position
• Image and background (bg size, 64x64) (optional)
• Image size
• Display duration

Note: If no image or background is specified, it will not be rendered.

config/arcana/custom-tips-presets.json

This file defines each screen preset, including:

• Preset name
• Title and body text
• Text position
• Display duration

To add another preset duplicate the example preset in the JSON file and modify it as needed. The example preset can also be removed.
