Bow Trajectory
See where your arrow is going before you release the shot.
While you draw a bow or aim a crossbow, this mod draws the predicted flight path in front of you and marks where the arrow should land — on the ground, on a wall, or on an enemy.
- Works with bows and crossbows
- Updates as you aim and draw
- Client-side only — no install needed on the server
- Press B to turn the preview on or off
Verified compatibility
Optional mods. Neither is required.
| Mod | Notes |
|---|---|
| Better Archery | When Arrow Improvements are on, the preview uses that mod's velocity, gravity, and aim for left-hand Bow-type weapons (including Valheim crossbows). Turn off UseBetterArcheryPhysics under Compatibility for vanilla ItemData physics. |
| Save Crossbow State | Trajectory shows again right away after you sheathe or switch away from a loaded crossbow and draw it back. |

Manual install (BepInEx)
-
Install BepInExPack Valheim if you do not already have it.
-
Extract the zip.
-
Create a BowTrajectory folder in your Valheim BepInEx/plugins directory (if it does not exist), then copy all files from the zip into it:
Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\BowTrajectory\The folder should contain
BowTrajectory.dll,manifest.json,icon.png, andREADME.md. -
Launch Valheim.
Configuration
After your first launch, settings are saved here:
BepInEx\config\ModdedWolf.BowTrajectory.cfg
Change colors via named presets (White, Red, …, RGB Cycle Slow/Medium/Fast, or Custom + hex), line width, toggle key, hide vanilla crosshair, and more.
In-game: open Mod Configs (pause menu) to edit these settings.
By default the game's own + cursor and bow-draw ring are hidden while the trajectory is showing so the preview is not cluttered. Turn Hide vanilla crosshair off if you want both.
Updating from v1.0.2 or earlier: config moved from dev.modded.bowtrajectory.cfg to ModdedWolf.BowTrajectory.cfg. Your settings are copied over automatically the first time you run v1.0.4+, then the old file is renamed to dev.modded.bowtrajectory.cfg.migrated so migration does not run again.
