TeleportCreatures

TeleportCreatures

Teleport Creatures is the creature transport module of the modularized TeleportEverything 3 pack. It safely brings nearby eligible tamed allies and, when separately enabled, alerted hostile untamed enemies through Valheim's normal portal, dungeon, and Basements transitions. It waits for Valheim's native player arrival and never changes teleport timing, fade, readiness, or the selected destination. It is compatible with Valheim 1.0 (Deep North).

Want to configure in game? Install TeleportEverything for a unified panel with TeleportCreatures settings.

New Feature!

Switch modes hotkey: press Shift + ← or Shift + → to cycle between modes. (configurable)

Installation

Recommended: install with Gale. Gale can use both the Hexium and catalogs and imports existing profiles on startup. Install TeleportCreatures in the same profile used for Valheim, on the server and every participating client.

Manual: install BepInExPack for Valheim, then extract TeleportCreatures.dll from this package into Valheim/BepInEx/plugins. Install the same version on the server and every participating client.

Server policy and player preferences

The source-of-truth server generates and synchronizes BepInEx/config/odinplus.TeleportCreatures.server.yml.

Each player gets odinplus.TeleportCreatures.yml, which is local-only and restrictive. A malformed file is rejected while the last valid policy remains active.

In-game editor

Open ConfigurationManager, expand Advanced Configuration, and click Teleport Rules → Open YAML Configuration Editor. You can edit your player preferences there; the server policy can be edited on the server host and read on clients. The editor checks YAML before saving. Invalid YAML leaves the last valid settings active. Your player file is BepInEx/config/odinplus.TeleportCreatures.yml; the server file is BepInEx/config/odinplus.TeleportCreatures.server.yml. You can edit either file with a text editor as well.

Local diagnostic logging is controlled by the Diagnostics settings in ConfigurationManager's Advanced settings.
