Soulcatcher Crossbow Fix
⚠️ TEMPORARY PATCH MOD ⚠️
This is a client-side patch for Soulcatcher JC KG Additions that fixes broken crossbow-related gem effects.
The patch will be removed immediately once the original mod author fixes the issue upstream.
What does this fix?
In the current version of Soulcatcher JC KG Additions, the following gem effects for crossbows are defined but not applied correctly:
- Hare Soul Power – damage bonus ❌
- Dverger Soul Power – reload speed bonus ❌
This patch restores the intended behavior:
- 🐇 Hare Soul Power → increases crossbow damage
- 🧙 Dverger Soul Power → reduces crossbow reload time
✅ Works with vanilla and modded crossbows
✅ Supports multiple crossbows (skill-based + prefab name fallback)
✅ Fully tested in real gameplay
⚠️ Must be installed on every client (this is a client-side fix)

FAQ
Q: Does this work on dedicated servers?
Yes, but it must be installed on all clients.
This patch intentionally runs client-side to ensure consistent behavior.
Q: Will this conflict with future updates?
Possibly.
This patch is meant to be temporary and will be removed once the upstream mod is fixed.
Q: Why not patch server-side?
Because reload timing and attack flow for crossbows are partially client-driven in Valheim.
This approach proved to be the most stable and reliable.

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:
