About this mod Author’s original text

PerkinsTent

Carry your home wherever your adventures take you.

Inspired by Perkins's tent from Harry Potter, this small leather tent opens into a spacious interior that is bigger on the inside. Build and furnish your own portable base, store your supplies, and invite your friends inside.

Craft your tent

Craft 1 Tent Cloth at a level-one workbench using:

  • 2 Surtling Cores
  • 10 Greydwarf Eyes
  • 20 Deer Hide

Use your hammer and select Perkins's Tent under Furniture to pitch it outdoors. Placing the tent consumes one Tent Cloth. Interact with the front entrance to step inside.

Make it your base

The interior starts unfurnished, ready for you to make it your own. Build workbenches, chests, beds and furniture with your hammer. Enjoy a warm, sheltered room, and claim a bed to respawn inside while your tent is pitched.

Your friends can enter your tent and join you in the same room. Each player can have one tent pitched at a time, with their own saved interior.

Pack up and move on

When everyone is outside, remove your tent with the hammer or use Shift + Interact at the front entrance. Pick up the returned Tent Cloth, carry it with you, and pitch your tent somewhere new.

Your built furniture and chest contents remain in your saved interior in that world. Moving the tent reconnects you to the same base. If you lose the cloth, craft a replacement to set up your packed tent again.

Only the owner can pack the tent, and it cannot be packed while someone is inside. You can build inside your tent, but you cannot place another tent inside it.

Requires BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn on the server and every player's client.

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.
