ShieldMeBruhReforged

Automatically equip your preferred shield when you draw a one-handed weapon.

Features

• Choose a shield with a middle-click in your inventory.
• Automatically equip it alongside a one-handed weapon.
• Optionally unequip it when you put the weapon away.
• Remember the same shield across sessions, storage, and death recovery.

Installation

Requires Valheim 1.0.12 and BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2350.

• Install the dependencies in your r2modman profile.
• Download the package from GitHub Actions,

or build the project using the instructions below.

• Close Valheim and copy ShieldMeBruhReforged.dll into your profile's

BepInEx/plugins/ShieldMeBruhReforged/ directory.

• Launch with Start modded.

Disable or remove the original ShieldMeBruh first. Reforged starts with fresh

settings and shield selection.

Build and compatibility checks run in GitHub Actions.

Controls

Middle-click a shield in your inventory to select it. Click it again to

deselect. A shield marker shows your selection.

Auto-equip and auto-unequip can be toggled in the mod's BepInEx configuration.

Your character remembers the selected shield's ID. Storing it or dying keeps the

preference; it resumes when that shield returns, even in another inventory slot.

Only deselecting or choosing another shield changes the preference. These IDs are

plain-text custom data that vanilla does not use.

Build

Requires.NET SDK 8 and the game dependencies above.

GitHub Actions builds and checks the plugin automatically. Pushing a version tag

creates a GitHub release with the built ZIP and publishes it.

Use bumpp to update versions and create the tag.

dotnet build src/ShieldMeBruhReforged/ShieldMeBruhReforged.csproj -c Release \

-p:GameDir="/path/to/Valheim" \

-p:BepInExDir="/path/to/profile/BepInEx"

Output: src/ShieldMeBruhReforged/bin/Release/netstandard2.1/ShieldMeBruhReforged.dll.
