I wouldn't categorize many of these as minuscule in benefits, if not I'd consider some of them insane QoL improvements. Though I'd also note it appears a lot of these different tools are actively trying not to mess with other player's, just improve the experience for those who use it.

Here some that stuck out at me as I went through ones I've learned here or via reddit (mostly via reddit to be honest):
  • Put housing objects where and how you want without having to deal with glitches
  • Turn your combos into stuff that looks like pvp combos
  • Deadly Boss mod (tells you what is coming up and sometimes what to do to deal with the mechanic)
  • Notifications for skills and events (like if a player uses provoke, someone dies, you have a skill off cooldown, etc)
  • Marks players that have debuffable debuffs, mark players that can be raised or if someone else is raising them
  • Tells you you and others damage
  • Check the market without being near the market
  • Tell you when hunts are spotted and where they are exactly (based on community data I guess, so it's not a perfect system)
  • Reduce a hardcoded animation lock so you can double and triple weave
  • Hide or change players (graphics in general)
  • Modify UI elements (though that should be obvious by this point)
  • Help you play cactbot
  • Help you play Triple Triad (NPCs only) - I want to note here that is is pretty interesting that developers self control their works to try and not to ruin other player's experience. Kind of sweet/cute.
  • Show exactly where your trigger pixel is so you can dodge AoE's insanely well
  • More powerful UI features in general like filtering spam, blocklist, teleport ease, etc.
  • Most epic one I saw, adds chat bubbles.. XD
Honestly Alexander's built in latency mitigation is a godsend for certain players and i'd hate to see it go away for that reason alone, and most of these are rather benign, instead of trying to get rid of them for PC players, we should really be asking if some of these couldn't be baked into in game systems so that console also has access to things like better ui customization and such
