About this mod Author’s original text
Return Home
A reusable, craftable Valheim item that teleports you to your currently claimed bed.
Features
- Return to your claimed bed from almost anywhere.
- See the remaining cooldown in the top-left corner.
- Receive a Return Home: Ready message when the cooldown ends.
- Choose whether normal portal restrictions apply through the configuration file.
Default recipe
- Workbench level 2
- 10 Wood
- 5 Leather Scraps
- 2 Deer Hide
The recipe costs and five-minute cooldown can be changed in:
BepInEx/config/com.jimmy.valheim.returnhome.cfg
Playing
- Claim a bed at your main base.
- Craft the Return Home Stone at a level-2 workbench.
- Keep it in your inventory.
- Right-click it to return home.
By default, normal portal rules apply, so you cannot return while carrying ore, metal, or other non-teleportable cargo. Change RespectPortalRestrictions to false in the configuration file for unrestricted travel.
Multiplayer
Every player using the item should have the mod. The server should also include it when using a dedicated server or mod-enforced profile.
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:
