Unhindered
Walk through small plants, step over logs and low rocks without jumping, and slide around enemies instead of sticking to them.

Unhindered
Running around Valheim without snagging on every bush and log. This mod was prompted by me getting frustrated as all hell running through the Black Forest.

Features
- Pass-through: bushes, mushrooms, berry bushes, pickables, crops and saplings no longer block you. You can still pick, chop and hit them.
- Step-up: walk up onto low obstacles (logs, rocks, ledges) without jumping or using stamina. How tall depends on how fast you move: 0.7 m walking or crouching, 1.2 m running, 1.5 m sprinting by default (MaxHeightWalk / MaxHeightJog / MaxHeightSprint). DebugLog logs why each obstacle was or wasn't stepped on.
Each feature can be turned off separately.
Multiplayer
Client-side. Works on servers without it. If the server has it, the server's settings are used and locked for non-admins.
Config
BepInEx/config/hvalch.Unhindered.cfg, or in-game with a configuration manager (F1).

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:
