Runestone Records

Runestone Records brings your achievements and character statistics together in one in-game journal. Find your next goal, see what you still need, and keep it on screen while you play.

Open it with F7 or the Achievements button in your inventory.

Find your next achievement

• Browse Valheim's native achievements with categories, search, filters, and sorting.
• Read each description at a glance, then expand it to see your progress toward every requirement, including collection entries, difficulty, and combat methods.
• Use Hide Completed to focus on unfinished goals, or Missing Reqs inside an achievement to hide requirements you have already met.
• Prefer a little mystery? Turn on Hide Locked Secrets. Secrets are shown by default; completed ones stay visible with a SECRET badge.

No custom achievements or achievement points are added.

See what you have been up to

The Statistics tab shows your character's recorded combat, survival, exploration, crafting, gathering, fishing, building, and food totals. Search for items and creatures, or expand a statistic for a closer look.

It uses records Valheim has already saved, so existing data can appear straight away. What is available depends on what the game recorded; missing history cannot be recreated.

Keep your goals in sight

Pin up to three achievements to your HUD. Each shows its progress and up to five unfinished requirements, with a count when more remain. Finished goals stay pinned until you remove them.

Move and resize the tracker while the journal is open. You can resize the journal too, and both remember their size. Pins are saved separately for each character. Progress updates while you play without losing your place in the journal.

Getting started

Mod manager: Install Runestone Records for Valheim with Thunderstore Mod Manager, r2modman, or Gale. The declared dependencies install BepInExPack for Valheim and Jötunn. Launch the game through the manager, load your character, and press F7.

Manual: Install BepInEx 5 and Jötunn 2.30.0 or later first. Extract this package, then copy plugins/RunestoneRecords.dll to Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/RunestoneRecords/RunestoneRecords.dll. Restart Valheim, load your character, and press F7.

Use F7 to open or close the journal, or close it with Escape. You can change the shortcut in the config.

Runestone Records is client-side. Each player who wants to use it needs it on their own PC; no dedicated-server installation is needed.

Achievements while using mods

By default, Runestone Records also lets Valheim keep recording and unlocking native achievements when mods, cheats, or world modifiers would normally block them.

If you only want the journal, set General.EnableAchievementsWithMods to false. Opening the journal does not grant achievements.

Thanks

Thanks to the BepInEx and Jötunn teams for making mods like this possible.
