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. Made for Norse Demigods 1.8.1 (works on 1.8.0 too). Install it on your own game. Servers and other players don't need it.

Edited Demigods.yaml: not supported yet. With Norse Demigods' file as it ships, everything is accurate. If a server changes a god's abilities or traits there, the panel still shows that god's real abilities, keys and numbers, but some of its descriptions may describe the usual kit.

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.
• Boosts included. Eaten Infused Liquid Frost or Infused Morgenheart, or a server that turns up Norse Demigods' special damage, healing or speed, and the numbers show the real result. Hover a boosted number to see what raised it.
• 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.
• Speaks your language. English, Russian, German, Portuguese (BR), Hungarian and Vietnamese are all included, translated by the MMOHeim community. Anyone can add another one (see Localization).
• Light on performance: With no extra network traffic.

English, Russian, German, Portuguese (BR), Hungarian and Vietnamese are included, and anyone can add their own language.

Config

Your settings are in BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.norsedemigodsui.cfg (made on first launch). They only affect you, and changes apply right away.

Bar positions and widths are in the config too, but it's easier to drag the bars with your inventory open.

Ability hotkeys come from Norse Demigods' own config (the (Hotkeys) section). The bar always shows whatever keys are set there.

Localization

The mod ships in English, Russian, German, Portuguese (BR), Hungarian and Vietnamese, and anyone can add another language without touching the mod or waiting for me.

Every one of these was done by a member of the MMOHeim community, for free, on their own time. A huge thank you to Blace (Russian), Godmin (German), Morgnar (Portuguese BR), SeHun (Hungarian) and QuanKha (Zono) (Vietnamese) — this mod speaks six languages because of them, and nothing below would exist without their work.

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/Chinese.json

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

A folder works just as well, if you prefer it or you are packaging a translation as its own mod: BepInEx/config/NorseDemigodsUI/Translations/Chinese/Chinese.json. That is why the languages that ship with the mod sit in one folder each under plugins — inside plugins the folder name is what names the language, so there it is the only layout that works.

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 (Chinese, Chinese_Trad, Japanese, French, Spanish, Polish, …). A file called Chinese - 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 Chinese translation: Chinese.json (732 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

0.11.6

• Updated For Norse Demigods 1.8.1: ND 1.8.1 changed nothing the panel reads, so every number, tooltip and setting from your Norse Demigods config shows exactly as before. This version asks mod managers for Norse Demigods 1.8.1.
• Vietnamese Translation Updated: Updated translations by QuanKha (Zono). Thank you!
• Server admins, before you update Norse Demigods: on its first launch, 1.8.1 resets its advanced settings to defaults while Automatically Update Configs is on. Back up NorseDemigods.cfg or switch that option off first if you tuned it.
• Demigods.yaml not supported yet: 1.8.1 lets servers change each god's abilities and traits in its new Demigods.yaml. With the file as it ships, the panel is fully accurate. If a server edits a god, the panel still lists that god's real abilities, keys and numbers, but some descriptions, the god's Pantheon write-up and the weapon tips can still describe its usual kit. Full support is planned for a later update.

0.11.5

• Runestone Back By Default: New players now get Norse Demigods' runestone in their inventory when they spawn without a god, and it can be crafted as usual, just like Norse Demigods itself. Using it opens the Demigod panel. You can still choose and change gods right in the panel, with or without a runestone.
• Switched On For Everyone: Updating to this version turns Runestone Required on once, so every player gets the runestone back. No pop-up, nothing to click. If you already follow a god, Norse Demigods doesn't hand out a new one, but you can craft it. If you'd rather play without it, set Runestone Required = false in com.rdmods.norsedemigodsui.cfg and the mod won't change it again.

0.11.4

• Updated For Norse Demigods 1.8.0: Every number in the panel, the item tooltips and the ability bar now matches what 1.8.0 really does. This version needs Norse Demigods 1.8.0 or later.
• Server Boosts Shown Too: If your server turns up Norse Demigods' special damage, healing, attack speed, jump or movement speed, the panel shows the real values and names the boost on hover.
• For Every God: Perks & Stats lists new Deep North infusions for every god, with a riddle on how to make them, or the exact recipe with Infusion Spoilers on, and marks them once eaten.
• Texts Follow 1.8.0's Fixes: Eir's Purity now adds spirit damage, thrown spears come back from long throws and when you teleport, and recasting the Stone Golem, Poison Cloud or Surtlings replaces the ones you have out.
• Translations Updated: German, Hungarian, Portuguese (BR), Russian and Vietnamese cover every new and changed line, and a few old slips are fixed.

0.11.3

• Vietnamese Translation Added: The panel is now available in Vietnamese. A huge thank you to QuanKha (Zono) for the translation! Set Valheim to Vietnamese and it loads on its own.
• Translation-Only Update: Nothing else changed. The mod itself is the same as 0.11.2, so your settings and HUD layout stay exactly as they are.

0.11.2

• Path of Valheiman Compatibility: Your Ability, Energy, XP and companion bars now step aside while the Path of Valheiman skill tree is open, so they no longer catch clicks meant for the tree's buttons. Close the tree and they come right back. Works with whatever key opens the tree.
• Updated For Norse Demigods 1.7.3.

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.
