About this mod Author’s original text
Lootheim
Lootheim is a lightweight Valheim quality-of-life resource and loot mod.
It combines automatic harvesting, a larger item pickup/magnet radius, per-pickable controls, optional resource multipliers, creature-drop multipliers, and a configurable mining aura.
No Jotunn required.
Features
Auto Harvest
Automatically harvests nearby supported Pickable objects.
Config:
- Enabled
- Harvest Radius: 1–30 m
Harvest radius is separate from pickup/magnet radius.
Dynamic Pickables List
Every discovered Pickable gets its own checkbox in ConfigManager.
This lets you enable or disable specific harvestables individually.
The list is generated dynamically, so compatible modded Pickables can also appear.
Pickup / Magnet Radius
Expands Valheim's normal auto-pickup magnet range.
Config:
- Pickup Radius: 1–30 m
Lootheim does not add pickup modes. It simply extends the normal grab aura.
Resource Multiplier
Optional configurable multiplier:
- Enabled
- Multiplier: 1x–10x
Supported sources include:
- Pickables
- Farmables / crops
- Trees
- Fallen logs
- Rocks
- Ore nodes
- Monster drops
- Animal drops
Creature drop chances remain vanilla. Lootheim multiplies successfully generated loot rather than changing the chance itself.
Mining Aura
Equip a pickaxe and hold Shift to automatically mine nearby resource nodes.
Config:
- Enabled
- Mining Radius: 1–30 m
Behavior:
- Requires an equipped pickaxe
- Hold Left Shift or Right Shift
- No visual indicator
- Supports MineRock, MineRock5, and compatible resource destructibles
- Uses very high mining damage so supported nodes should break essentially in one mining pass
- Preserves the equipped pickaxe's tool tier
- Resource Multiplier still applies to compatible resulting drops
Performance / Safety
All major radius settings are capped at 30 meters to prevent excessive world scans.
Mining Aura only scans while:
- a pickaxe is equipped, and
- Shift is held.
Configuration
Lootheim is compatible with BepInEx ConfigManager.

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:
