About this mod Author’s original text

Scroll To First Person

An add-on for Valheim Plus (Grantapher build). Zoom the camera all the way in, scroll in once more, and you are in Valheim Plus first person. Scroll out to go back to third person at the closest zoom.

Client-side only. Requires Valheim Plus with [FirstPerson] enabled = true. The Valheim Plus hotkey still works as before.

Face where you look

Your character always turns to face the way the camera is looking, instead of the way you are walking, so walking sideways or backwards strafes. Sitting, emotes and steering a ship are left alone.

  • [FaceLookDirection] Enabled (default true)
  • [FaceLookDirection] OnlyInFirstPerson (default false) - set true to keep normal third-person movement and only face-lock in first person.

Details

  • The wheel is ignored for switching in the same situations the game ignores it for zooming: inventory, map, menu, chat, console, build mode (where the wheel rotates pieces).
  • Config: BepInEx/config/com.burks.scrolltofirstperson.cfg
  • Enabled
  • SwitchCooldownSeconds (default 0.3) - stops one long spin of the wheel flipping back and forth.
  • Built against Valheim Plus 0.10.2.0 / Valheim 1.0. If a Valheim Plus update changes its first-person code, this mod turns itself off and says so in the log.

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:
