NorseDemigodsUI

Norse Demigods, with a built-in wiki. One key opens a clean, vanilla-style panel that shows everything about your god, and a HUD that keeps your Energy, XP and companions in view. Please refer to Features section below for full list of features in this mod.

Client-side only. Install it on your own game. Servers and other players don't need it.

Item Tooltips

If a long tooltip runs off the screen (other mods add to the same tooltip), use any tooltip expansion mod that makes tooltips scroll, so nothing gets cut off.

Features

• Your wiki, in game. Press K and read every ability, trait and perk for your god without leaving Valheim.
• Stats that follow your level. Every number is calculated for your Demigod level, not a guess from a spreadsheet.
• Hover the blue ▲ next to a number to see it in detail: what it is now, what it becomes next level, what it reaches at level 100, and your level cap.
• Find your best build. See which weapons and armor suit your god, what is heavy or light, and how your current gear measures up.
• Gear tooltips for your god. Hover any weapon, shield or armor piece to see what your god does with it, modded gear included. Optionally on the crafting window too.
• Know your strengths and weaknesses. Check which damage you resist, what hurts you most, and which traits and powers are active right now.
• Know how to grow. See what earns your god XP, how far the next level is, and what is holding your level cap back.
• The whole Pantheon. Browse every god: role, playstyle, element, strengths and weaknesses, and what their numbers would be at your level.
• Change god in one click, with a clear note of what you keep and what you lose before you confirm.
• Ability bar with hot keys, costs and cooldowns, plus small slots for special attacks and Teleport.
• Energy, XP and companion bars for your wolf, minions and other helpers.
• Move the HUD yourself: open your inventory or the menu and drag the bars where you want them.
• The HUD gets out of your way while you build. Take out a hammer, hoe or cultivator and the bars step aside so Valheim's building panel doesn't sit on top of them. Modded build hammers work too, with nothing to set up.
• Fits your screen. The panel sizes itself to your resolution, so it looks right on 1080p, 1440p, 4K and ultrawide alike.
• Any language. The mod's text is a file anyone can translate, and translations go in your config folder (see Localization).
• Runestone: using one opens the panel. By default you don't need a runestone to change god (see Config).
• Light on performance: With no extra network traffic.

Needs Norse Demigods 1.7.1. English is included, and anyone can add their own language.

Config

BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.norsedemigodsui.cfg is created on first launch. All settings only affect you and apply right away.

Bar positions and widths are also in the config (as advanced settings), but dragging is easier.

Ability hotkeys are not set here. They come from the Norse Demigods config (the (Hotkeys) section), and the ability bar and panel always show whatever is set there. Change them in Norse Demigods' config and the bar updates right away.

Localization

The mod ships in English, and anyone can add another language without touching the mod or waiting for me.

Every piece of text lives in Translations/English/English.json inside the mod's folder, as a list of names and the text shown for each one. Copy that file, translate the right-hand side, and name the copy after the language:

BepInEx/config/NorseDemigodsUI/Translations/Hungarian.json

Then set Valheim to that language and restart. That's it.

A few things worth knowing:

• It's in config, not plugins, so updating the mod will not delete your translation.
• You don't have to translate everything. English loads first and your language goes on top, so anything you leave out simply stays English. A twenty-line translation works.
• Modpacks can ship translations in their own config folder, and several languages at once: each player automatically gets the one matching their game language, and everyone else sees English. Nothing to switch on.
• Name it exactly as Valheim spells the language, starting with a capital (Hungarian, German, Portuguese_Brazilian, …). A file called Hungarian - Copy.json is refused on purpose, and the mod says so in the log.
• .yml and .yaml work too, but only if another mod has already loaded YamlDotNet. JSON always works.

The mod writes a line to the BepInEx log for every translation it loads, so you can check it took:

[Info   :NorseDemigodsUI] Loaded Hungarian translation: Hungarian.json (718 new lines)

There's a fuller guide in Translations/README.md next to the English file, covering the {0} placeholders and the colour markup. Please share full translation files so I can support localizations natively by sharing them with me on Discord linked below!

Changelog

0.11.1

• Updated For Norse Demigods 1.7.2: Alpus fixed several bugs in 1.7.2, so the panel now describes what the game actually does as per the latest version.
• Added Localization Support: The panel is now available in Russian, German, Portuguese (BR) and Hungarian. A huge thank you to Blace (Russian), Godmin (German), Morgnar (Portuguese) and SeHun (Hungarian) for the translations!
• Older Versions Warned: if you're still on Norse Demigods 1.7.1 or earlier, the log now tells you which lines won't match your game. Update to 1.7.2 for everything to read correctly.

0.11.0

• HUD Steps Aside While Building: Equip a hammer, hoe, or cultivator, and your Ability, Energy, and XP bars will automatically move out of the way of the building panel. Put the tool away, and they snap right back. This works seamlessly with modded hammers (like PlanBuild or Odin Architect) with zero configuration required. The auto-hide feature can be toggled in the settings, and your bars will always stay visible while you're actively dragging them into place.
• Panel Fits Your Screen: The Demigod panel now automatically scales to your resolution instead of forcing a fixed size. It will no longer be tiny on 1440p or 4K monitors, nor cut off on smaller displays (1080p stays exactly the same). If you want to tweak the size yourself, there's a new Panel Scale setting, and the UI is capped so it can never grow past the edges of your screen.
• Translations Open to Everyone: The mod's text now ships as a standalone file for easy translating. Simply drop a language file into BepInEx/config/NorseDemigodsUI/Translations/ and set Valheim to that language. Modpacks can now safely ship custom translations in their config folders, and they will survive mod updates. Partial translations work perfectly—anything left untouched simply falls back to English. Check the Localization section in the README for details.

0.10.3

• Centred HUD Layout: New installs now place the Ability Bar at the bottom centre of the screen, with the Energy & XP bars right below it and Companion bars (when out) right above it, all centred for any resolution or UI scale.
• Your Layout Stays Yours: Existing players and modpack configs keep their current positions. To switch to the new layout, delete the three Position lines in the config (or the whole config) and restart. Everything is draggable as always and it saves the position always.

0.10.2

• God-Specific Weapon & Armor Tooltips: Item hover-texts now clearly show if a piece of Weapon or Armor suits your specific god, using color-coded effects and "best weapon" tags.
• Streamlined User Interface: The UI has been cleaned up and reorganized, making all menus and text much easier to read and understand at a glance.
• Code-Accurate Stats: Over 100 item and ability descriptions across all 11 gods were corrected to match how the game & mod actually calculates them behind the scenes.
• Consistent Guides: The weapon guides, armor pages, and Pantheon cards were reorganized to match each other. They now clearly rank weapons and suggest "best loadouts."
• New Settings: Show In Item Tooltips (on by default) and Show In Crafting Window (off by default) in the 01 - General section. Both only affect you and apply right away. Works with modded items.

0.8.2

• Weapons & gear notes: Armor & Weapons tab now shows your god's favoured weapons and which bonuses your current gear gives or misses, with a tip on what to change. Modded gear is supported.
• Element colours: every damage type is capitalised and colour-coded across the panel; Physical has its own colour.
• Cleaner level cap: How You Grow shows the trophy ladder in two columns, with your cap highlighted.
• Infusion riddles: every god now has its own riddle hinting at the item that infuses their abilities, shown on their Pantheon card, in Perks & Stats and under each infusable ability. One item infuses them all.
• Infusion Spoilers (config): turn on Infusion Spoilers in the 01 - General section to swap the riddles for the exact recipe: item, ingredients and workstation. Off by default, and it only affects you.

0.7.0

• First release.
• Demigod panel: press K to pick or change your god, browse every god, read each ability and perk, and see your level and XP.
• Ability bar: your god's abilities with their keys, costs and cooldowns, plus small slots for special attacks and Teleport.
• Energy, XP and companion bars: clean bars on your HUD. You can set it back to Norse Demigods' own meters at any time.
• Client-side only: nothing is sent over the network, so servers and other players don't need the mod.
• Light on performance: no measurable cost while the panel is closed.
