Clean HUD

A client-side HUD overhaul that tidies Valheim's interface while keeping its Norse look: dark wood plates, worn bronze rims, parchment text and the game's own Norse font. Only you need it: it works on any server and adds no items. Press F8 to switch back to the vanilla HUD at any time.

Features

Vitals (bottom left)

• Slim bronze-framed health, stamina and eitr bars, with current / max percent beside each one
• A damage trail shows how much you just lost, and the health bar pulses below 25%
• The eitr bar only appears once you have eitr

Food and forsaken power

• Food tiles with an exact countdown and a sweep showing time used
• A tile glows amber when you can eat that food again, and its timer turns red in the last minute
• Your forsaken power gets a matching tile with its cooldown, or "Ready"

Status effects

• Matching tiles with a radial sweep and countdown, under the minimap (or top center, or above the vitals)

Hotbar and minimap

• Wood and bronze hotbar slots, a gold glow on equipped items, cleaner durability bars
• A wood and bronze minimap frame with a day and time plaque

Less clutter

• The small stamina bar in the middle of the screen is hidden (the corner bar already shows it)

Waypoint markers for map pins

• Your own pins and death markers show in the world with name and distance, and fade almost invisible when you aim straight at one
• Normal pins are temporary: reaching one deletes it from the map
• Persistent pins stay: on the big map, hover a pin and press P (or start its name with *). The marker only hides while you stand on it. You can still right-click to delete it.
• Bosses and Hildir's chests only show when you have line of sight
• At most 5 markers at once (nearest first); death markers always show
• Bed, player, ping and event pins never show

Keys

Config

Everything can be changed in BepInEx/config/com.cleanhud.valheim.cfg: size, position, what each bar shows, which panels to hide, the marker limit, distances, keys and more.

Notes

• Vanilla HUD elements are only hidden, never deleted. F8 or turning a feature off restores them exactly.
• If something fails, the mod logs it once and falls back to vanilla for that part.
• Reached death markers are remembered in BepInEx/config/com.cleanhud.valheim.reached.txt.
