   All modes

   The buff bar is cleaned up: redundant buffs are trimmed, most item buffs with durations move onto the item in your inventory, lower-impact system, map and item effects are reduced, and very short debuffs (about 0.25s) are no longer shown.

   Source line

   Trimmed redundant buffs that repeat information already clearly communicated elsewhere in the UI or gameplay state (e.g. role quest progress and other obvious state changes).

   • Moved most item buffs with durations into the inventory on the item itself.
   • Reduced buff bar clutter from lower-impact system, map and item effects that don't meaningfully change player decision-making.
   • Removed display of very short-duration debuffs and effects (˜0.25s), including things like minor slows from Honeyfruit pickups.
