HexRareScanner

Automatically adds minimap pins and plays a sound when selected rare creatures spawn. I hunt sea serpents, and this mod helps track them.

Features

  • Automatically adds minimap pins when tracked creatures spawn.
  • Optional creature trophy icons for tracked creature map pins. When disabled, the vanilla Valheim ping icon is used.
  • Optional sound notification when a tracked creature is detected.
  • Pins are automatically removed when the creature dies.
  • Tracked creature pins can be manually removed by right-clicking them on the map.
  • Independently configure which creatures are tracked.
  • Optionally display tracked creature labels

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:
