StarTrophies

StarTrophies introduces dynamic star-level trophies for 1-star (★) and 2-star (★★) creatures in Valheim. Defeating powerful starred creatures now rewards trophies that feature authentic in-game LevelEffects shader coloring, custom scale multipliers on item stands and world drops, and scaled merchant value when trading with Haldor.

🌟 Key Features

• Authentic LevelEffects Shader Tints:

  • Trophies mirror the exact in-game star hues, saturations, and values of living creatures (Boars, Wolves, Fulings, Seekers, etc.).
  • Custom material clones ensure stars shine with original Viking prestige.

• Dynamic Scale Multipliers:

  • Star trophies are visibly larger and more imposing when placed on ItemStands (Wall & Horizontal stands) and dropped in the world.
  • Fully configurable scale multiplier per star rank (Default: 1.15x for 1-Star, 1.30x for 2-Star).

• Haldor Merchant Economy:

  • Star trophies are worth more coins when sold to Haldor the trader.
  • Default: 2.0x value for 1-Star, 3.0x value for 2-Star (configurable).

• 100% Native Multiplayer & ItemStand Sync:

  • Fully synchronized across multiplayer servers and clients.
  • Zero ghost trophies, zero animation looping, and clean stand removal.
  • Clean drop prefab binding ensures dropped items retain star tier.

Changelog

2.1.4

• Valheim 1.0.20 support. Checked against the new drop code: star-based trophy chance (×2 at ★, ×4 at ★★, still one trophy) and the pseudo-random drop counter that is now saved per character. Star chances stay vanilla on top of the 5% base cap.
• Guaranteed trophies are no longer capped. Trophies with a 100% vanilla chance keep it: Hildir's quest creatures, Kvastur and the white deer. Before, they were reduced to 5%.
• The drop cap now covers every loaded creature variant (sleeping, no-chest and similar), not only the ones in the Jötunn cache.
• Surtling trophy fixed: the fire now turns blue (★) and purple (★★) like on starred Surtlings. Star effects that the game shows as a separate object are copied to the trophy.
• Star colors now find the right creature for trophies that used to get no tint or a generic one (Troll, Fenring, Draugr, Valkyrie, Gjall and others).
• Coloring is smarter: materials are matched by name or texture, all matching parts are tinted, and a fallback tint is used when a creature has no star colors.
• New debug options DumpTrophies and LogDropTable, both off by default.
• Updated dependencies: Jötunn 2.30.1, BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2351.

2.1.0

• Trophy drop chance of regular creatures capped at 5% (CommonTrophyDropChanceCap); bosses and already-rare trophies untouched.

2.0.0

• Star trophies keep their tier when dropped from inventory and when removed from item stands.
• Fixed ghost models and looping sound on item stands.

1.0.0

• First release: ★/★★ trophies with star coloring, scale and value multipliers, multiplayer support.
