About this mod Author’s original text

Use Equipment in Water for Valheim

This Bepinex mod allows you to use all of your equipment and tools while swimming in water.

You can also choose which items are usable in water by editing the config file as explained below.

Important Info

For now (v0.2.4) the config file does not work anymore. That means every Item is allowed to be used in Water no matter what.

Thats because the latest update makes my mod require a rewrite in order to allow or deny specific items.

I will look into fixing that later

The config file can be editied from within the mod manager via the "Config Editor" menu

Config name: com.lvh-it.valheim.useequipmentinwater.cfg

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:
