📖 About

OdinMountedCombat lets you fight from the saddle of Valheim's rideable tames. Ride a Lox, Moose or Asksvin into battle and swing, shoot, cast and joust without dismounting.

⚠️ All players need the mod to see the mounted animations.

⚠️ Reminder: Use this mod at your own risk. Always back up your character and world files before installing or updating.

⚔️ Mounted Combat

Every attack has its own seated animation: your legs stay in the stirrups while you fight.

Your rider turns in the saddle to follow your aim, and attacks, arrows, bolts and spells go where you aim. Bows, crossbows and staffs share one set of turn limits.

Melee reaches down to enemies at your mount's feet, and each weapon type has its own extra reach (knives and fists reach further from the saddle).

Riders hold what they carry: one-handers, shields, bows, two-handers and staffs each have their own riding pose.

Hold block to raise your shield or weapon while riding.

Thrown spears and drops are picked up from the saddle.

Capes are calmed while riding, or hidden if you prefer.

🗡️ Every Weapon Type

Each one can be switched on or off under [Weapons], and melee types have their own reach setting. Switched off, attacking with it dismounts you, as in vanilla.

🐎 Your Mounts

The Lox, Moose and Asksvin are set up out of the box, each with the rider's seat fitted to it.

Every mount is a block in BepInEx/config/OdinPlus.OdinMountedCombat.MountSeats.yml: leg spread, seat height and position, tilt, lean, and extra melee and pickup reach for tall mounts. Changes apply instantly and sync from the server.

Add a block to give any rideable tame mounted combat, including other mods' creatures (an OdinBear example is included).

Prefer a tame's own riding animation? Set KeepRidingAnimation: true on it: you keep its vanilla riding pose and your cape hangs as in vanilla, and mounted combat still works.

🏇 With OdinHorse

Install both and the Odin Horse gets every weapon type too. OdinHorse hands its horse and jousting lances over to OdinMountedCombat, so only one mounted combat runs. The lances' settings stay in OdinHorse's config.
