Automatically equip a shield when you draw a one-handed weapon.

About this mod Author’s original text

Tiny mod that equips your shield when equipping a one-handed weapon, freeing up your precious hotbar space. Arguably the most important part of the now-deprecated ValheimPlus modpack.

USAGE

  • Have a shield anywhere in your inventory.
  • Equip any one-handed weapon.
  • Your shield is automatically equipped. Probably.

NOTE: If you have multiple shields in your inventory, it will pick the first one.

CONTACT ME

  • If you have any issues with the mod, update it, then shoot me a message on Discord at theratzu if the issue persists.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
