CrossbowZoom

BetterArchery's zoom for every crossbow, vanilla or modded. Hold the zoom key to zoom, loaded or reloading; right-click zooms instead of blocking. Client-only.

CHANGELOG

Changelog

1.0.0 — 2026-09-22

First release, built against Valheim l-1.0.15, BepInEx 5.4.23.5 and BetterArchery 2.0.2.

  • Holding BetterArchery's zoom key with any crossbow zooms the camera with BetterArchery's own factor, speed, sounds and zoom-out, whether loaded or reloading.
  • Right-click zooms instead of blocking while a crossbow is held. No zoom while the inventory, map, chat or a menu is open.
  • Crossbows are recognised by their properties (a bow-type weapon that reloads), so modded crossbows work without a list.
  • BetterArchery is bound by name at startup. If anything is missing, one error is logged and nothing is patched.
