# Always On Locator Bar<\/p>\n
A small mod that stops the locator bar (waypoint dots) from disappearing whenever the XP bar pops up to animate absorbed experience.<\/p>\n
In vanilla, picking up XP orbs hides your locator bar for a few seconds: annoying when you’re trying to follow a waypoint. This mod overlays the locator dots on top of the XP bar so your waypoints stay visible at all times.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– **Locator dots overlay**: when the XP bar takes over the screen space, the waypoint markers are drawn on top of it instead of being hidden.
\n– **Optional always-on XP bar**: force the XP bar to stay on screen permanently, with locator dots overlayed.
\n– **Master toggle**: flip the whole mod off to instantly fall back to vanilla behaviour.
\n– **In-game config screen**: accessible through Mod Menu, three simple modes:
\n – `Off`: vanilla behaviour
\n – `Overlay on XP`: locator dots drawn on top of the XP bar (default)
\n – `Always show XP bar`: XP bar permanently visible, with locator dots overlayed<\/p>\n
## Optional<\/p>\n
– Mod Menu: needed to open the in-game config screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
