About this mod Author’s original text
FishMagnet
Pull every fish around you straight into your inventory.
No rod, no bait, no waiting for a bite — turn it on and the fish come to you.
- Works in multiplayer. Dedicated servers and player-hosted games alike, with nothing installed on the server or on anyone else's game.
- Only fills your inventory. Everyone else keeps fishing normally.
- Shore or boat. The range is measured from you, so it works the same wherever you are.
- Off by default. Turn it on when you want fish, turn it off when you are done.
Usage
| Action | Default |
| --- | --- |
| Toggle on/off | F7 |
| Settings | F1, then pick FishMagnet |
Stand near water with fish in it and turn it on. Anything within range lands in your inventory
within a second. When your inventory is full it simply stops.
The hotkey is ignored while you are typing in chat, so it will not fire mid-message.
Settings
| Option | Default | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fish magnet | Off | The main toggle. |
| Toggle hotkey | F7 | Change it to whatever key you like. |
| Show on-screen message | On | Tells you when you switch it on or off, and the current range. |
| Range | 20 m | How far fish are collected from. Anywhere from 2 to 100 metres. |
| Skip hooked fish | On | Leaves a fish alone while someone is reeling it in, so you do not steal a friend's catch. |
Everything can be changed while you play — including the range, live, with no restart.
Requirements
BepInEx (the Valheim pack). Any mod manager installs it for you.
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:
