About this mod Author’s original text
OneHitChop
Fell any tree with a single axe hit.
No special axe, no crafting, no new items — just a toggle you flip on and off whenever you want.
- Works in multiplayer. Dedicated servers and player-hosted games alike, with nothing installed on the server or on anyone else's game.
- Only affects you. Everyone else keeps chopping normally.
- Off by default. Turn it on when you are clearing land, turn it off when you want the normal game back.
Usage
| Action | Default |
| --- | --- |
| Toggle on/off | F9 |
| Settings | F1, then pick OneHitChop |
Turn it on and hit a tree — it comes down. Fallen logs and stumps go the same way.
The hotkey is ignored while you are typing in chat, so it will not fire mid-message.
Settings
| Option | Default | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| One-hit chopping | Off | The main toggle. |
| Toggle hotkey | F9 | Change it to whatever key you like. |
| Show on-screen message | On | Tells you when you switch it on or off. |
| Fallen logs | On | The log a tree drops also breaks in one hit. |
| Stumps and bushes | On | Stumps, saplings and choppable bushes too. |
| Ignore axe tier requirement | Off | Lets a weak axe fell oak and birch. This skips normal progression, so it is off unless you want it. |
Everything can be changed while you play — no restart.
Requirements
BepInEx (the Valheim pack). Any mod manager installs it for you.
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:
