About this mod Author’s original text

TameableHares

A small, focused Valheim mod by nick008 that makes the vanilla Mistlands Hare tameable and breedable.

Features

  • Vanilla Mistlands Hares can be tamed.
  • Tamed Hares can use Follow / Stay.
  • Tamed Hares can breed.
  • Breeding creates a smaller hare kit which later grows into an adult.
  • Hare kits are protected from the Butcher knife.
  • Adult tamed Hares can still be slaughtered with the Butcher knife.
  • Star levels remain part of Valheim's normal creature/procreation system.
  • Hare sounds are reused for petting, breeding and birth; no custom audio files are added.

Food

Hares can eat:

  • Carrot
  • Turnip
  • Jotun Puffs
  • Apple (optional, when Valharvest is installed)

Default timings

  • Taming: 25 minutes
  • Fed duration per feeding: 5 minutes
  • Hare kit growth: 33 min 20 s
  • Pregnancy duration: 90 seconds
  • Pregnancy chance: 66%
  • Nearby hare breeding limit: 7

Installation

Install with a mod manager, or copy:

plugins/nick008tameablehares.dll

into your:

BepInEx/plugins/nick008tameablehares/

folder.

Notes

  • The mod only modifies the vanilla Hare creature.
  • Jotunn is not required.
  • 2-star Hares are very large because that is how Valheim scales starred creatures.

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:
