PvP Kill Feed

A lightweight, PvP-only kill feed for Valheim.

When a player kills another player, everyone sees a short line at the top of the HUD:

KillerVictim

No PvE. No death history. No extra world data. Built for busy dedicated servers.


Features

  • Player vs player only — falls, trees, mobs, and bosses never touch the network
  • Crossed-swords icon with a faded bar behind each line
  • Guilds colors — if Guilds is installed, names use that guild’s color picker RGB. Otherwise names stay white
  • Tiny live RPC — names + colors, then gone. Join 5 seconds late and you will not see it
  • Server-authoritative HUD — size, position, and padding come from the server and live-reload
  • Optional hide/disablekillfeed hides the UI on your screen only. Your kills still show for everyone else

Screenshots

Without Guilds — names render white.

Requirements

Mod Required
BepInEx Yes
Jötunn Yes
Guilds (Smoothbrain) Optional — Guilds colored names when present

Install on the dedicated server and every client.


Installation

  1. Install with r2modman / Thunderstore, or place PvPKillFeed.dll in BepInEx/plugins/
  2. Install Jötunn as well (and Guilds if you want faction colors)
  3. Launch once to create BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.pvpkillfeed.cfg
  4. Edit the HUD on the server. Clients receive those values automatically

Chat commands

Local to you. Session only. Rejoining the server turns the feed back on.

Command Effect
/disablekillfeed Hide the feed on this client
/enablekillfeed Show it again

These do not stop kills from broadcasting.


Configuration

File: BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.pvpkillfeed.cfg

All HUD keys are server-synced (admin-only). Clients cannot override them while connected.

Key Default
Position TopCenter TopLeft / TopCenter / TopRight / BottomLeft / BottomCenter / BottomRight
OffsetX 0 Horizontal inset (px)
OffsetY 36 Vertical inset (px)
NewestOnTop true New kills stack from the top
EntryDurationSeconds 7 Time fully visible
FadeOutSeconds 2 Fade length
MaxEntries 3 Lines on screen at once
FontSize 15 Name size
IconSize 20 Sword icon size (px)
EntrySpacing 4 Gap between lines (px)
BackgroundAlpha 0.55 Bar opacity (0–1)
BackgroundPadX 5 Bar padding X (px)
BackgroundPadY 1 Bar padding Y (px)

Change a value on the server and save — connected clients pick it up without a restart.


Notes

  • Killer is the player hit that actually dropped the victim to 0 HP on the victim’s client (Valheim PvP is client-authoritative)
  • Duplicate lines for the same death are dropped
  • /disablekillfeed is never saved; it is not a config flag
