Runegate

Choose where your portals lead through a Valheim-style menu.

Features

• Search and select portal destinations. The list refreshes automatically.
• Set portal names up to 20 characters.
• Choose destinations independently from other players.
• Keep choices for the current session or remember them after restarting.
• Saved choices are separate for each character and world.
• Ping destinations on the map for other players.
• Adjust menu size in-game.
• Use keyboard/controller shortcuts for destination selection.

Requirements and installation

Requires BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350 or later.

Install Runegate through Thunderstore Mod Manager on each player's profile and on the server. For single-player, install it on your PC only.

For manual installation, copy the included plugins/Runegate folder into Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/.

Close the game or stop the server before replacing files.

Using portals

Interact with a portal to open Runegate.

• Save name: rename the current portal.
• Destination: open the list and search for a portal.
• Select destination: set your route, then walk through the portal.
• Ping on map: share the selected destination's location. Requires maps to be enabled.
• Use vanilla pairing: clear your personal selection and return to normal tag pairing.

Normal teleport restrictions still apply. Your destination selection does not change your friends' selections.

Controls

• Up/Down arrows or controller D-pad: browse destinations.
• Enter or controller A: confirm the selected destination.
• Esc or controller B: close the portal menu.

Keyboard shortcuts do not select destinations while you are typing in a text field. These are destination-selection shortcuts; other controls may still require a mouse. Controller button mapping can vary by device.

Settings

Press Esc, then select Runegate settings.

• UI size: adjust between 70% and 150%. Release the slider to apply and save. The menu is capped to fit your screen.
• Reset size: return to the default size.
• Portal memory: choose This session only or After restarts.

Session mode ignores previously saved routes and does not save new choices. Switching to After restarts saves your current choices.

Memory preferences and UI scale are local to each player. Personal routes are stored in BepInEx/config/Runegate/; settings are in BepInEx/config/sfantul.portals.cfg.
