ProximityInteraction

Interact with objects (or NPCs) via proximity rather than looking at them directly.

Features

  • Interact with nearby usable objects based on proximity.
  • Prioritizes the object you are directly aiming at.
  • Falls back to proximity targeting when nothing interactable is being aimed at.
  • Prioritizes closer objects.
  • Prevents interaction through walls and other blocking geometry.
  • Designed to preserve normal Valheim interaction behavior where possible.

Installation

r2modman

Install the mod using your preferred -compatible mod manager.

Manual installation

  • Extract the.zip and place its plugins folder inside the steamapps/common/Valheim/BepInEx/ folder path.
  • Start Valheim.

Configuration

Configuration options are generated in the BepInEx config folder after the mod has been launched.

Compatibility

Client-side Valheim mod using BepInEx.

Issues

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:
