Underwater

v1.2.4·Updated 2026-09-14

Allow players to go underwater.

About this mod Author’s original text

Adds an option for players to walk along the seafloor instead of swimming at the water surface. This option can be changed in the mod config or by pressing the Backspace key in game (key can be changed in config).

This mod was created primarily to assist with placing building pieces underwater. I may try to add diving controls in the future, but for now the options are to swim on the surface or walk on the bottom.

Run the game once with the mod enabled to generate the config. See config for details on what each option does.

This is primarily a client side mod. It may also be installed on a server to sync configurations. A server may optionally require that clients have the mod installed via the ConditionalConfigSync.ModRequirements.cfg file in the ConditionalConfigSync config directory.

Some configuration options can be enforced by a server running ConditionalConfigSync. See included ConfigSync_Readme.txt file for more information.

Installation

This mod uses BepInExPack Valheim as a mod loader. You can use any BepinEx compatible mod manager to install the mod, or manually place it in the BepixEx plugins directory.

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.
