SkeletonCrew
Better Skeleton Summons for Valheim by Jubaroo
Empower your Blood Magic necromancy with intelligent quality-of-life enhancements for summoned skeletons.
✨ Features
1. 🎯 Middle-Click Dismissal with Hover HUD
- Hover Prompt: Hovering over any summoned skeleton of yours displays an intuitive prompt:
[Middle Click] Dismiss skeleton(Keybind and text are customizable in config). - Instant Unsummon: Clicking middle mouse unsummons the targeted skeleton with a satisfying puff of magic, freeing up your summon slots without damaging or killing them.
- Combat Safe: Intercepts secondary weapon attacks while aiming at your skeleton so your equipped weapon won't accidentally swing or waste stamina.
2. 🏹 Intuitive Bowman vs Swordsman Summoning
- Cycle Mode Key ([G]): While holding the Dead Raiser staff, press
Gto smoothly cycle between:- Swordsman (Equipped with sword & shield)
- Bowman (Equipped with bow)
- Random (Vanilla RNG behavior)
- Quick-Invert Modifier (Left Shift): Hold
Left Shiftwhile casting to temporarily invert your summon on the fly!- If you're on Swordsman mode, holding Shift spawns an archer.
- If you're on Bowman mode, holding Shift spawns a swordsman.
- On-Screen Summon HUD: Displays your current summon mode directly below your crosshair when the Dead Raiser is drawn.
- Inventory Tooltip: Item tooltip for Dead Raiser displays the currently selected summon mode and keybindings.
3. ⛵ Automated Boat Boarding & Disembarking
- Sail with your Skeletal Crew: When you step aboard any boat (Raft, Karve, Longship, Drakkar), following skeletons within boarding distance automatically hop aboard.
- Stable Deck Positioning: Skeletons match the boat's physics, remain firmly in symmetrical deck slots around the mast, and will not slide off, clip through, or fall overboard.
- Anti-Despawn Protection: Prevents distance-based unsummoning while sailing across vast oceans.
- Automated Disembarking: When you reach land or a dock and disembark, your skeletons smoothly disembark alongside you, resuming standard guard and follow behaviors.
