About this mod Author’s original text
FishComp
Run server-wide fishing competitions in Valheim!
Features
- Admin-controlled fishing competitions with a configurable countdown timer
- Live leaderboard showing who's caught the most fish, visible to all players
- Automatic winner announcement in chat when the competition ends
- Configurable leaderboard panel position
Admin Commands
- fishcomp_start — start a competition for the given number of minutes
- fishcomp_end — end the competition early and announce the winner
- fishcomp_reset — clear the leaderboard and hide the panel
- fishcomp_setpos — reposition the leaderboard panel (any player can adjust their own view)
- fishcomp_testui — toggle a test view of the leaderboard panel for positioning purposes
Requirements
- Jotunn 2.30.0 or later
(installed automatically as a dependency)
This mod must be installed on the dedicated server AND on every connecting client.
It enforces that itself: a client without it, or running a different major/minor version,
is refused at connect with a mod-compatibility message rather than silently misbehaving.
How It Works
A server admin starts a competition with fishcomp_start. All players see a live leaderboard appear showing the current fish-catch standings. When the timer runs out (or an admin ends it early), the winner is announced to everyone in chat.
Compatibility
- Valheim 1.0.7 (Deep North), network version 39
- Jotunn 2.30.0 or later — earlier Jotunn versions do not work on Valheim 1.0.7
Built against Valheim 1.0.7 and verified against the shipped game assemblies. Earlier releases
of this mod targeted Valheim 0.221.12 and will not work on 1.0.7.
Not yet tested in live multiplayer. This build has been verified statically against
Valheim 1.0.7 and Jotunn 2.30.0, but has not yet completed a live multiplayer test on a
dedicated server. Please report anything you hit.
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:
