Quartz - UI Framework & Enhancement

Quartz is more than just a mod; it is a foundational UI framework that allows other mods to modify the 7 Days to Die interface without conflicts. It introduces a modern, modular architecture to the game's dated XML-based UI system.

Why Quartz is Essential

In the vanilla game, two mods trying to edit the same window usually result in a 'red-text' error. Quartz solves this by allowing modular injections into the HUD and menu systems.

• Player Window Enrichment: Adds detailed stats like XP progress bars and hydration percentages directly to the character screen.
• Loot Window Optimization: Expands the loot grid and adds 'sort' icons that are missing in many baseline versions.
• Dependency Mod: Many top-tier HUDs like Steel UI or SCore utilities require Quartz to function correctly at high resolutions.

Deep Customization

Quartz allows players to move UI elements via simple XML config changes. Want your health bar in the top right? Quartz makes that possible without needing a degree in Unity engineering.
