Get Out Of The Water

Press Jump while swimming to pull yourself onto a nearby ledge.

Vanilla 1.0 can hop at a water edge if you recently touched the world, but swim physics still pin you on vertical docks and walls. This mod intercepts Jump only while you are swimming and not standing, finds a standable lip, and pulls you onto it. Grounded jumps are left alone.

Client-side. Other players do not need the mod. Movement is applied on the owning client.

Requires BepInExPack 5.4.2350 (Valheim 1.0 / Unity 6).

Controls

Swim at the surface, face a ledge, and watch the line on the lip:

• Green: tap Jump now. A wave peak can turn a red lip green.
• Red: too high for your Jump skill or this waterline.
• No line: nothing to grab.

Holding Space does not keep trying. Look at the wall face, not up at the top (that dunks the swim camera).

What you can climb

Any solid you could stand on after walking:

• Player pieces (docks, floors, walls)
• Vanilla / world structures (Ashlands ruined buildings in the water, sunken stone, location meshes)
• Terrain and rocks
• Boats (on by default, toggle in config)

The probe uses collider layers, not hammer Piece ownership. World ruins are included.

Default climb height is 1.0 m above the waterline at Jump 0, up to 2.0 m at Jump 100. Height is measured against the water when you press Jump, so waves can help or deny a grab. Pulling up raises Jump like a normal jump. Cliffs and 3 m walls are out of reach.

A short red or green line on the lip shows whether Jump would work right now. Green: tap Jump. Red: wait for a wave or the wall is too high. Holding Jump does not retry.

Diving mods

If you are deeper than the surface band, Jump is left alone so UnderTheSea / BetterDiving / VikingsDoSwim can still use it to ascend.
