# Overview
\n**CustomOverlay** is a lightweight yet powerful Minecraft mod that allows you to place custom images directly onto your screen. Whether you want to add a unique aesthetic touch, display helpful reference charts, or keep your favorite memes in sight while playing, this mod gives you full control over your in-game visuals.
\n_______________________________________________________________________________________________
\n# **Keybindings**:
\n1. **I**: Opens the Image Menu. Browse and select the images you want to display.
\n2. **O**: Opens the Overlay Editor. Move, scale, and reposition your images anywhere on the screen.
\n3. **Shift** (while in Editor): Activates the Grid System to help you align your overlays with pixel-perfect precision.
\n_______________________________________________________________________________________________
\n# **How to Add Images**
\n1. Navigate to your Minecraft directory: **.minecraftconfigCustomOverlayimages**.
\n2. **Drop** your **desired image** files into this folder.
\n3. Back in the game, open the Image Menu (I) and **click the Reload** button to refresh your library.
\n_______________________________________________________________________________________________
\n# **Supported Formats**
\nCustomOverlay supports a wide range of file types to ensure compatibility with almost any image:
\n1. Standard: **.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp**
\n2. Animated: **.gif**
\n3. Advanced\/Design: **.webp, .tga, .tiff, .tif, .ico**
\n> Tip: Use transparent .png or .webp files for the cleanest look, allowing your images to blend seamlessly with the Minecraft UI!
