About this mod Author’s original text

Better Antler Pickaxe

Description

This mod for Valheim modifies the characteristics of the Antler Pickaxe, making it more effective in terraforming by speeding up animations, while reducing damage.

The basic idea: Accelerate terraforming!

Functionality

  • Animation acceleration: Animation of using a horn pickaxe has been increased by 2 times. This means that you can swing and hit the pickaxe faster.
  • Damage reduction: The damage caused by the pickaxe has been reduced by 2 times. Each hit will be weaker, but by increasing your speed you will be able to compensate for this with the number of hits.

Why is this necessary?

  • For those who value time: Destroy mountains and dig homeless holes even faster now!
  • Early Game: The mod can be especially useful at the beginning of the game when you need to build a base quickly.

Installation

  • Install BepInExPack Valheim. (Installation instructions can be found here: [Link to BepInExPack Valheim, if available, otherwise remove])
  • Copy the.dll mod file to the BepInEx/plugins folder in your Valheim directory.

Configuration

The mod has no configurable parameters. Animation acceleration and damage reduction are fixed.

Compatibility

  • May not be compatible with other mods that change the characteristics of the horn pickaxe.

Feedback and support

If you have any questions, suggestions, or find a bug, please contact me at Discord: __vaffle

I will be glad to hear your opinion!

Future plans

  • Add configuration to change acceleration and damage coefficients.
  • Improved compatibility with other mods.

Thanks

  • Thanks to the Valheim development team for this wonderful game!
  • Thanks to the Valheim modding community for their support and inspiration!

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:
