WeaponRename

Shift+right-click a weapon in your inventory to rename it, or reset it to the default localized name.

The custom name is stored on that item instance (not the prefab). Every player with this mod sees the same name on world drops, in chests, and on item stands.

Install

Install with r2modman or another Thunderstore manager. This mod depends on:

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jötunn

Dedicated servers and every client must have matching versions. Vanilla clients will be rejected at join so renamed weapons stay visible to everyone.

How to use

1. Open your inventory.
2. Hold Shift (configurable).
3. Right-click a weapon.
4. Rename, Reset (back to the default localized name), or Cancel. Escape also closes.

Features

• Weapons by default: one-handed, two-handed, two-handed left, and bows. A synced config can allow all items.
• Reset restores the real vanilla name, including other languages.
• Host rules (rename enabled, weapons-only, max length) sync from the server. The Shift key stays per-client.
• Does not change internal prefab ids. Other mods still see an Iron Sword.

0.1.2
