Minty Spire (QoL Compilation)

Enhance Your Slay the Spire Experience with Minty Spire

Tired of the small annoyances that can slow down your Slay the Spire runs? Minty Spire is a compilation mod focused entirely on Quality of Life improvements, streamlining your gameplay without introducing any new cards, enemies, or content. This mod aims to make your journey up the Spire smoother and more intuitive, allowing you to focus on strategic decisions rather than tedious micro-management.

Streamlined Information and Visual Cues

Minty Spire offers a host of subtle yet impactful visual enhancements. Creatures with the Intangible status effect become visually distinct, easily drawing your attention. Key relics like Pantograph will now glow when approaching a boss room, and Tiny Chest will pulse when it has charges available. The Frozen Eye relic provides an immediate preview of your upcoming card draws, a significant boon for planning your turns. Several relics and cards, such as PenNib and Necronomicon, gain enhanced visual borders and corner previews for affected cards. Additionally, relics that interact with campfires are now displayed above the rest option for easier visibility.

Combat and Shop Enhancements

Combat clarity is a major focus. A new “hide” button on card selection screens allows for a clearer view of enemy intents and health bars. For multi-attack intents, an optional toggle displays the total incoming damage, helping you assess threats more effectively. The mod also provides optional features to display boss behavior health thresholds and the boss’s name on the dungeon map, aiding in strategic planning. In shop encounters, hovering over items now offers an affordability preview, and certain merchant hands become transparent for better visibility. Even the intro splash screen can be skipped, getting you into the action faster.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Enhanced visual indicators for Intangible creatures.
• Improved relic cues for boss rooms and charge availability.
• Card draw previews with Frozen Eye.
• Clearer visual information for relics and cards like PenNib and Necronomicon.
• Combat screen enhancements for better enemy intent visibility.
• Optional display of total incoming damage from multiple attackers.
• Affordability previews and visual adjustments in shop encounters.
• Optional display of boss health thresholds for behavior changes.
• Optional boss names on the dungeon map for strategic planning.

Minty Spire also includes helpful tweaks like removing the Ascension increment arrow when a character is at its max level and displaying the number of Strike cards for the Perfected Strike power. Even the display of Powers below creatures has been improved to handle crowded rows. For those interested in mod development, Minty Spire leverages the game’s metrics system to collect anonymous data, aiding in the balancing of future mods, with clear opt-out options available in the game’s settings.
