About this mod Author’s original text

HoldMySpear

A simple spear ownership mod for Valheim.

Why? As a spear user, when playing in multi-player with friends, spears

cannot be thrown without risking pickup by another player. Because of this,

spear users must essentially opt-out of using the spear's special ability

when playing with others to avoid confusion and/or lose their weapon.

This mod solves that issue by providing player ownership of spears.

Ownership

To take ownership of a spear, simply pick up an unowned spear.

Once owned, a spear can be disowned by throwing it on the ground

and using the L-Alt + E key combination when hovering over it

with your cursor.

Tips

Just like binding a spear to yourself, other players in the world may

bind any unbound spear to themselves; for this reason, it's a good idea

to take ownership of any spears outside of your inventory when first

running this mod (spears in storage, item stands, etc).

Dependencies:

  • BepInEx 5.4.2200

Requirements

This mod must be installed on all clients who participate; players

without this mod will be able to pick up all spears in the world

they have access to.

Installation

Place HoldMySpear.dll into C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins and run Valheim.

Accreditation

Much of the understanding of BepInEx, Valheim and HarmonyX APIs

was derived through Azumatt's

BindOnEquip plugin.

The name of this project was suggested by Chee, a user on Discord.

Donations

I spend most of my time these days playing and modding Valheim. Any donations are greatly appreciated and can be given through my Buy Me A Coffee page.

Thanks to all of those who support my work! This kind of support gives me more ability to work on mods with my time:)

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:
