Flameless Torch
Author: YouDied | Discord
A placeable torch with no flame, no light — but it still suppresses enemy spawns just like a regular torch.
What it does
Valheim's spawn suppression is driven by the presence of a Fireplace component, not by whether the fire is actually lit. The Flameless Torch exploits this: it's a standing torch with the fire, light, particles, and audio stripped out entirely, leaving only the suppression mechanic intact.
Place them around your base perimeter to keep enemies at bay without lighting up the night or tanking your framerate.

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:
