About this mod Author’s original text
Runic Exploration 1.0.4
Find your way back to places you have already discovered.
Using the map browser
Open Valheim's large map to search saved pins in explored areas. Filter personal and shared pins, select a result and center the map on it. Known-location details include distance, direction and elevation.
Use name tags such as [boat] and [cart] to organize saved locations. Tombstones, beds and bosses are recognized too. The browser groups duplicate entries for display while keeping your map pins intact.
While you control a ship, the optional sailing readout shows local ship and sail information.
Configuration
Choose browser, selected-pin and sailing panels under Panels. Use KnownMap.IncludeSharedPins for shared locations. Display controls result count, side, scale and controller readability; Performance.RefreshIntervalSeconds controls refresh timing.
Installation
Install locally with BepInExPack Valheim. No server installation or other Runic mod is required. Your existing explored map and pins provide the locations shown.
Languages
The mod follows Valheim's selected language, with English fallback. Keep the included Translations folder beside the mod DLL when installing manually.

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:
