DeathTweaks

Keep, drop or destroy items on death by type or name, keep food, tune or disable skill loss, respawn at the start or at fixed coordinates. Client-side; a server can optionally enforce its config. Valheim 1.0, works with EquipmentAndQuickSlots 3.x.

CHANGELOG

Changelog

1.1.0 - 2026-09-16

  • Optional server configuration. A server that also runs DeathTweaks and turns the new Server.ConfigPriority on decides every setting except IsDebug for the players who have the mod, so a death means the same thing for everyone on it. The settings that travel are marked [synced] in the config file.
  • The mod stays optional on both sides: it is not part of the game's version check, players without it are unaffected, and it keeps working on servers that do not have it or that leave ConfigPriority off.
  • The client's config file is never written to. The server's values live in memory for as long as the connection lasts and are dropped when it ends; a setting changed on a running server is sent to the connected players right away.
  • deathtweaks status and deathtweaks reload say where the active settings come from.

1.0.2 - 2026-09-12

  • Quick slot detection is now based on the item's grid position through the slot mods' public APIs instead of their cached slot contents, which could report empty slots during death.
  • With Extra Slots, KeepQuickSlotItems now covers quick, food, ammo and misc slots (everything except equipment slots), matching what players expect to keep.
  • The slot mod API is resolved at startup and reported in the log; the debug log shows each item's grid position.

1.0.1 - 2026-09-12

  • KeepQuickSlotItems now also works with Extra Slots (shudnal.ExtraSlots), not only EquipmentAndQuickSlots.
  • A warning is logged at startup and on death when KeepQuickSlotItems is on but no supported quick slot mod is loaded; previously quick slot items were silently dropped.
  • The debug log marks quick slot and hotbar items per item.

1.0.0 - 2026-09-12

First release, built against the Valheim 1.0.12 assemblies.

  • Keep, drop or destroy items by item type or prefab name.
  • Keep equipped, hotbar, teleportable or all items; keep EquipmentAndQuickSlots 3.x quick slot items through its public API.
  • Drop items on the ground instead of into a tombstone.
  • Keep active food after respawn.
  • Disable death effects.
  • Change or disable skill loss, disable the skill-loss protection after a recent death.
  • Respawn at the start location or at fixed coordinates.
  • Vanilla death world modifiers are honoured.
  • Config keys match aedenthorn's DeathTweaks; rename the old .cfg to muindor.DeathTweaks.cfg to reuse it.
  • Console command deathtweaks reload|status.
