BoatTracking

Name your boats with hold E, then find them on the map from anywhere - even across the ocean, even when nobody is near them.

This is a server + client mod. The dedicated server and every player need the same BoatTracking install. Client-only will not sync map pins.

Install (multiplayer / dedicated)

1. Open r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager → Valheim.
2. Install BepInExPack_Valheim if you do not already have it.
3. Online → search DevDonkey-BoatTracking → Install on your client profile.
4. Install the same package on your dedicated server profile (or copy BoatTracking.dll into the server BepInEx/plugins/ folder).
5. Restart the server, then launch the game through the mod manager.

If client and server builds get out of sync, you will see an in-game warning asking you (or the host) to update.

Install (singleplayer)

Same package via r2modman is enough - the local host acts as the server.

Manual: put BoatTracking.dll in BepInEx/plugins/ (needs BepInExPack_Valheim).

How to use

• Look at a ship and hold E to open rename (tap E still boards / steers as normal).
• Names show on the minimap and full world map.
• Unnamed ships still appear as Raft, Karve, Longship, or Drakkar (config can hide unnamed ones).

Ships tracked

Raft, Karve, Longship, and Drakkar (Ashlands).
