EasyAutoHarvest

Easy Auto Harvest

Harvest nearby resources as you explore, without aiming at each one or pressing

Use. Gather berries, mushrooms, crops, loose materials, and supported modded

resources while walking or running.

Automatic harvesting skips the picking animation while preserving normal harvest

credit and skill rewards. You can also enable an extended pickup distance for

loose items. Drops and resource regrowth stay the same. Manual harvesting and

held Use actions work as usual.

Getting started

Requires Valheim 1.0.16 and BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2351.

Install with Gale, or import the downloaded ZIP as a local mod. For manual

installation, copy its BepInEx/plugins/EasyAutoHarvest/ folder into your game's

matching folder. Start the game once to create the configuration file.

Walk near a resource within your normal interaction reach to harvest it. By

default, turning off the game's auto-pickup toggle also pauses automatic

harvesting. You can assign a separate pause shortcut in the configuration.

Your preferences

Edit BepInEx/config/com.loon.easyautoharvest.cfg, or use a compatible in-game

configuration manager. Saved file changes reload automatically.

The Local section controls your character's preferences. These settings stay

your own when you join a server, even if the server locks its shared settings.

| Setting | Default | What it does |

| --- | --- | --- |

| AutoHarvestEnabled | On | Enable or pause your automatic harvesting. |

| ExcludedPrefabs | Empty | Resources you want to skip. |

| RespectAutoPickupToggle | On | Pause harvesting when the game's auto-pickup is off. |

| SkipWhenInventoryFull | On | Skip resources when there is not enough inventory space or carry capacity. |

| ToggleShortcut | Unassigned | An optional shortcut to pause or resume harvesting. |

| DebugLogging | Off | Log reasons resources are being skipped, to help troubleshoot. |

Resource lists use exact, case-sensitive prefab identifiers separated by commas

or semicolons. These may differ from the names shown in-game. With the game

console enabled, eah catalog lists known identifiers and whether each is

allowed or skipped. eah status shows harvesting and pickup range status;

eah pause and eah resume control your personal harvesting.

Multiplayer and server settings

Install the mod on the server and on each player who wants automatic harvesting.

For 1.1.0, upgrade the server and participating modded clients together to 1.1.0

or newer. Earlier versions cannot be mixed with this version.

Players without the mod can still join and harvest manually. If the server does

not have the mod, automatic harvesting stays inactive and this mod leaves pickup

range alone for connected clients.

The server's Server section controls shared rules:

| Setting | Default | What it does |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Enabled | On | Allow automatic harvesting. |

| BlacklistedPrefabs | Empty | Resources nobody using this mod may automatically harvest. |

| LockConfiguration | On | Restrict shared-setting changes to server administrators. |

| ScanIntervalSeconds | 0.25 | Time between checks for nearby resources, from 0.1 to 2 seconds. |

| ManagePickupRange | Off | Let this mod control automatic pickup distance. When off, the game or another mod controls it. |

| PickupRange | 8 | Pickup distance in meters, from 2 to 10. Used only when range management is on. |

The server blacklist always takes priority over personal preferences. Blacklisted

resources can still be harvested manually. In single-player, both sections of

your own configuration apply.

Pickup range

Set ManagePickupRange = true in the server configuration to use the chosen

PickupRange. In single-player, use your own Server section. Changes apply

without restarting. Existing configs keep their settings and start with range

management off.

This affects loose items only; harvesting and manual interaction keep their

normal reach. The game's pickup toggle and inventory/weight limits still apply.

Pausing harvesting does not pause
