Quick Teleport

Faster portal and dungeon teleports for Valheim 1.0. By default the teleport ends as soon as the screen is black and the destination is loaded, instead of after the fixed 8 seconds vanilla waits for portals. Alternatively, run the vanilla timing a configurable number of times faster.

A from-scratch replacement for OdinPlus' QuickTeleport (last updated for an older game version), with the same optional "skip loading" behaviour and a safer default for dedicated servers.

Client-side: install it on every player's game that should use it. Nothing is needed on the server, and players without the mod can play on the same server.

Features

• Auto mode (default): no fixed waits. The screen fades to black, you are moved, the mod waits for the destination to load and for the server to stop sending new objects, and the screen fades back. A loaded base takes about two and a half seconds instead of ten.
• Multiplier mode: everything vanilla does, N times faster (the fade, the 2 s move delay, the 8 s portal minimum, the 15 s floor timeout). 1 is vanilla timing plus the early position report described below.
• Configurable fade duration. The player is never moved before the screen is fully black, so lowering it makes teleports almost instant.
• The two unsafe options of the old QuickTeleport, off by default: do not wait for objects, or do not wait for the area at all.
• Dungeon entrances (crypts, caves) benefit too: they skip the 2 s wait.

Installation

Requires BepInEx 5.

• With a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager): install as usual.
• By hand: unzip the release and copy the plugins/QuickTeleport folder into BepInEx/plugins, so the mod ends up at BepInEx/plugins/QuickTeleport/QuickTeleport.dll.

The config file BepInEx/config/muindor.QuickTeleport.cfg is created on first launch.

Why the settle wait

The game only knows about objects the server has already sent, and the server sends the objects around the position the client reports, which vanilla does only every 2 seconds. Vanilla's fixed 8 seconds are what hides that delay. The mod reports the new position the moment you are moved, then in Auto mode watches the number of objects in the destination zones and ends the teleport once it has stopped changing for SettleTime. On a local game this adds half a second; on a busy server it waits for the buildings to arrive, up to the vanilla 8 seconds. Raise SettleTime if you arrive before your base does.

Console command

quickteleport status   # show the active settings
quickteleport reload   # re-read the config file

How it works

The vanilla teleport is left intact: Player.UpdateTeleport still moves the player, switches the environment and looks for a floor. The mod only decides how fast its clock runs and when the destination counts as loaded. The player is moved only once the loading screen is fully opaque (or, if another mod hides it, when vanilla would have moved), and in Auto mode the vanilla "no floor, drop to terrain height" fallback keeps its 15 s.

If a patch throws, it logs the error and lets vanilla run.

Compatibility

• Works with any portal mod that goes through Player.TeleportTo, including ones that allow all items through portals.
• Mods that replace Player.UpdateTeleport outright will bypass this mod.
• The 2 s cooldown between teleports is vanilla and unchanged.

Changelog

1.1.0 - 2026-09-16

• Optional server configuration. A server that also runs QuickTeleport and turns the new Server.ConfigPriority on decides every setting except IsDebug for the players who have the mod, so everyone on it travels at the same speed. 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.
• quickteleport status and quickteleport reload say where the active settings come from.

1.0.3 - 2026-09-12

• Dungeon entrances (crypts, caves) no longer wait for SettleTime: the interior is loaded together with the entrance, so nothing is left to arrive from the server. With the default fade they now take a fraction of a second.

1.0.2 - 2026-09-12

• The default FadeDuration is 0.1 s instead of 1 s. Config files created by an older version keep their value; lower it by hand.
• README: a "Making it faster" section on the settings each player can change locally, and realistic timings for a dedicated server.

1.0.1 - 2026-09-12

• Fix: the screen could stay black forever after a portal teleport, with "Local player destroyed" in the log and no error. The mod reported the new position to the server before the player's network object had been moved there, and the game then unloaded the player as an object outside the loaded area. The player's network object is now moved first.

1.0.0 - 2026-09-12

First release, built against the Valheim 1.0.12 assemblies.

• Auto mode: the teleport ends as soon as the screen is black and the destination is loaded; no fixed 2 s / 8 s waits.
• Multiplier mode: the vanilla timing (fade, move delay, portal minimum, floor timeout) runs N times faster.
• Configurable fade duration.
• The optional waits of the old OdinPlus QuickTeleport: skip waiting for objects, skip waiting for the area.
• The new position is reported to the server right after the move (vanilla does it every 2 s), and a settle wait in Auto mode lets the buildings arrive before the teleport ends.
• Debug log with the timeline of every teleport; console command quickteleport reload|status.
