About this mod Author’s original text

Physical Progression

Grow stronger as you explore Valheim. Physical Progression increases your maximum health and stamina as you train Run, Swim, Jump, and Sneak.

Features

  • Start with an additional 15 maximum health and 15 maximum stamina.
  • Gain another 1 maximum health and stamina for every five trained levels in each of the four skills, or you can set it to 0 to only have the initial bonus!
  • Reach a total bonus of 95 health and stamina with all four skills at level 100 at default settings.
  • Customize the starting bonuses and each skill's contribution.

Each skill contributes separately. For example, Run at level 50 adds 10 health and stamina on top of the starting bonuses.

Bonuses follow your current trained skill levels, so losing skill levels can reduce them. Changes take effect with the game's normal food/stat update and do not instantly heal you or refill stamina.

Requirements

BepInExPack

Installation

Close Valheim and copy the included BepInEx folder into your Valheim installation or mod-manager profile. The DLL belongs in BepInEx/plugins/PhysicalProgression.

Configuration

The first launch creates BepInEx/config/physicalprogression.valheim.cfg. Close the game before editing settings, then restart to apply them.

| Section | Setting | Default |

| ---------------------- | ---------------- | ------- |

| General | BaseHealthBonus | 15 |

| General | BaseStaminaBonus | 15 |

| Run, Swim, Jump, Sneak | HealthAt100 | 20 |

| Run, Swim, Jump, Sneak | StaminaAt100 | 20 |

Each skill has its own section. HealthAt100 and StaminaAt100 set that skill's total contribution at level 100. Contributions are awarded in five-level steps and rounded down to whole points. Settings accept whole numbers from 0 to 10000.

Multiplayer

Install the mod on each player's computer that should receive the bonuses. Installation on a dedicated server is not required. Settings are local to each player; the mod does not enforce or synchronize configuration through the server.

Physical Progression does not write custom character progression data. Other mods that change maximum health or stamina may affect the resulting totals.

Credits

Requires BepInExPack by denikson. Physical Progression is an unofficial Valheim mod.

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:
