Adjust Exposure
A mod for Valheim that allows players to customize graphics settings for exposure (i.e. gamma/brightness) and tonemapping, enhancing visual clarity and gameplay experience.
Configuration
The configuration file for this mod is automatically generated the first time you run the game with the mod installed. You can find it in your local BepInEx config directory (BepInEx\config\ValheimAdjustExposure.cfg).
You can customize the following settings in the configuration file:
- Exposure: Adjusts the overall brightness of the game. Higher values make the game brighter, while lower values make it darker. Default is 1.0.
- Tonemapping: Changes the tonemapping method used in the game. Options include None, ACES, and Neutral. Default is ACES.
Prerequisites
- Install a mod manager like R2Modman.
- Install BepInExPack Valheim with mod manager.
Install
Install AdjustExposure with mod manager.
Build from source
- Install.NET SDK (Core 3.1 or later) from Microsoft.
- Download source code from GitHub.
- Build release with.NET CLI command: dotnet build -c Release
- Import generated ValheimAdjustExposure.zip as local mod using mod manager.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
