RuneboundRest

🛏️ RuneboundRest

RuneboundRest reworks Valheim's Rested/Comfort system end to end: how fast comfort builds up, what conditions let you rest at all, how long the Rested buff lasts, and how much it's worth. On top of that it adds a brand-new Well Rested buff for actually sleeping through the night in your own claimed bed.

Every gameplay setting is server-synced and admin-lockable — the server's config file is the one that matters on a multiplayer world.

⚔️ Features

🌙 Reworked Rested Buff

Base duration, duration-per-comfort-level, and the skill XP multiplier while Rested are all config-driven. Defaults roughly double vanilla's generosity (960s base duration vs. vanilla's 480s, 120s per comfort level vs. 60s), and the XP bonus while Rested defaults to 3x (vanilla is 1.5x).

An AlwaysRested toggle exists for servers that want the buff permanently active.

🔥 Configurable Resting Conditions

Vanilla hardcodes what lets you start Resting (fire, shelter, dryness, not being sensed by enemies). RuneboundRest replaces that logic with individually toggleable rules: require fire or not, require shelter or not, allow resting while wet, allow resting near enemies, and how many seconds of sitting/resting it takes to acquire the buff (default 4s vs. vanilla's 10s).

🧭 Comfort Area

The radius the game scans for comfort-providing furniture and how often it rescans are both configurable (default 30m radius / 6s interval vs. vanilla's 10m / 2s).

🪑 Sitting & Lying

Extra comfort points and a faster rested-buildup-speed multiplier apply while actively sitting or lying in a bed, both independently configurable for sitting vs. sleeping.

🌟 Well Rested — sleep a full night, in your own bed

A brand-new buff, separate from the comfort-driven Rested buff above. It's granted the moment you wake from a server-confirmed full night's sleep in your own claimed bed — the same "everyone in the group is asleep" moment that skips the night to morning in vanilla. Grants bonus health regen, stamina regen, and a stacking skill XP bonus for its duration. Can be disabled entirely if you only want the comfort-based Rested system.
