Why

In a group, everyone finds their own part. One player mines iron. Another sails it home. Someone else cooks for the next trip, and someone keeps the smelters fed. Valheim shows none of this. Once the trip is over, the quiet work is gone, and only the boss kills are remembered.

Hearthwoven keeps the record, so every way of playing is seen. There is no ranking and no winner: just who did what, and who it helped.

How it works

• It counts as you play. Trees felled, ore carried home, dishes cooked, pieces built, damage dealt, distance sailed. Valheim's own counters for your character are shown too, so the book also covers your play from before you installed it.
• It shares through the server. On a server with Hearthwoven, players who have it can open each other's books. Players without it can still join and play.
• It only reads. Hearthwoven does not change the world or other mods. Items and pieces from other mods appear with their own names and icons.

In single player, the book shows your own deeds.

What is in the book

Who helped whom

Who enjoyed whose cooking, and who put whose gear to good use. Each thread runs from the player who gave to the player who received. (Company > Fireside)

Each player's share

The group side by side: wood and ore brought in, pieces built, dishes cooked, damage dealt, distance sailed and cargo carried. (Company > Together)

Your own deeds

Your deeds are grouped under titles such as Hearth Cook, Hallwright and Woodcutter, one for each way of playing. Open one to see what went into it.

Battle

Every fight since you installed Hearthwoven, counted: the damage you dealt and received, in each biome, against each foe and by damage type. See how many blows you blocked or parried, what hurt you most after your armour, and the last 30 seconds before each death. The Foes page shows what each foe takes more, less or no damage from, so you know what to bring next time. Choose a time period, from the last 10 minutes to everything since install, to look at one fight or a whole trip. (Battle)

Everything you made

Every piece of gear you crafted and every piece you built, counted and grouped by kind and material, with the game's own icons. Want to know how much of the hall is core wood, or how many weapons you made? Choose a material or a kind, and the bars and counts follow.

Crafting: what you made, by kind and material.

Building: what you built, by the hammer's tab and material.

Feats

A feat is a moment worth telling, earned by doing it: steering a ship 2 km with a heavy load of ore, holding blows on your shield beside a friend, having your food enjoyed by three fellow players. Some feats have bronze, silver and gold levels. Unsung shows the ones still ahead and why.

Feats, Earned.

And more

• Cooking: the dishes you cooked, where you cooked them and who enjoyed your food.
• Woodcutting and mining: trees felled, axe and pickaxe hits, and the wood, stone and ore you brought in.
• Taming: young born in your care, young born near you and the animals you led.
• Voyages: distance sailed and on foot, who sailed with you and the cargo you carried.
• Hall: the shared household, including trader purchases and items put into smelters.

Choose a biome or a time period to see more detail. Time periods run from the last 10 minutes to everything since install.
