About this mod Author’s original text
NH Chaos Buckler
A skull-faced buckler with glowing purple chaos cracks, from the Nostalgia Heroes / Necroverse Heroes collection.
Features
- New shield Chaos Buckler (prefab NH_ChaosBuckler) with its own model and inventory icon.
- Crafted at the Forge.
- Built on the vanilla ShieldBronzeBuckler, so blocking, parrying, durability and upgrades behave like the Bronze Buckler.
Recipe (placeholder)
The recipe is a placeholder and may change in a later version.
| Station | Level | Cost | Upgrade cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forge | 1 | Bronze 10, Wood 4 | Bronze 5, Wood 2 per level (half the craft cost) |
As in vanilla, the upgrade cost is multiplied by the level gained (quality 2: Bronze 5, Wood 2; quality 3: Bronze 10, Wood 4; and so on) and each higher quality needs one more Forge level.
Stats (placeholder)
The stats are placeholders: they are the same as the vanilla Bronze Buckler (block armor, parry bonus, block force, weight, durability, upgrades). Final balancing may change them.
Performance note
The shield model is very detailed (about 835,000 triangles). On slower PCs, many copies on screen at once (for example several dropped shields, or item stands) may lower the frame rate.
Installation
Use a mod manager (r2modman Mod Manager). For a manual install, copy the whole package into BepInEx/plugins/NecroverseHeroes-NH_ChaosBuckler, keeping the plugins/NH_ChaosBuckler folder with the DLL and the nh_chaosbuckler bundle.
Requires BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2351 and Jotunn 2.30.2.
Multiplayer
Every player and the server should have the same version installed. The item name NH_ChaosBuckler stays the same in future versions, so saved shields keep working.
Testing
With devcommands enabled: spawn NH_ChaosBuckler.

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:
