ToggleQol

Quality-of-life features for Valheim in one plugin, with independent toggles.

Press F8 in-game to open settings. All four features start enabled. Changes save automatically, and the menu shortcut can be changed. The world continues running while the menu is open.

Features

• Friendly Spirit Caller collisions: spirit boars, wolves, bears and moose pass through mutually friendly players, summons and tame creatures. Enemies, terrain and buildings retain collision. PvP-enabled players retain blocking. Toggle off to restore affected collisions.
• Full-duration food: food provides its full health, stamina and Eitr contributions until normal expiry. Food duration and regeneration remain unchanged. Toggle changes apply on the next normal food update.
• Ordered Spirit Caller summons: successful casts cycle boar → wolf → bear → moose, repeating. The next position saves per character in the local configuration. Failed spawns do not advance it. Disabling pauses the cycle and restores random selection. Native summon limits still apply.
• Minimap day and time: displays the in-game Day N on the left and HH:mm on the right above the small minimap. Hides with the HUD/map and has its own saved toggle.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager. BepInExPack Valheim is the only dependency; no separate settings plugin is required.

For manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim and copy the package's BepInEx/plugins/ToggleQol folder into the matching folder in your game or mod-manager profile.

Exit the game before updating. Keep only one copy of ToggleQol.dll. If migrating from the standalone SpiritCallerPassThrough or FullDurationFood plugins, remove their DLLs first; ToggleQol replaces them and will refuse to load alongside them.

Settings and saved summon positions are stored in BepInEx/config/benowy.qol.cfg. Keep this file when upgrading.

Multiplayer

For friendly collision behavior, install the same version with matching collision settings on every participating client and any dedicated server. Each installation keeps its own settings.

Food, the clock and ordered summons are personal client settings. Each caster has an independent summon sequence. This mod does not increase summon limits or balance an existing army.

Compatibility and status

Built against Valheim 1.0.12, Unity 6000.0.75 and BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350. Compilation and automated regression checks passed. Full in-game and multiplayer validation remains incomplete. The clock re-enable adjustment and 0.3.2 day/time layout still need in-game confirmation.

If a feature is unavailable, inspect BepInEx/LogOutput.log. Change the menu key through F8 settings or edit Menu.Hotkey in the configuration while the game is closed.

Uninstall

Disable individual features through F8, or exit the game and uninstall ToggleQol through your mod manager. For manual installations, remove ToggleQol.dll.

Renamed from BenowyQol

When upgrading, remove the old BenowyQol.dll so only ToggleQol.dll remains. The existing benowy.qol.cfg file and saved settings are retained.
