README

HeyBooBoo!

Tame the wild bears of the Deep North (and beyond) like wolves — then breed them for tiny cubs that grow up right before your eyes.

Features

  • Tame bears like wolves. Feed a wild bear raw meat (meat), keep your distance while it tames, then claim it: pet it, give it a name, and command Follow / Stay. It will defend you like any tamed wolf.
  • Bears can breed. Keep a fed, tamed pair together and they'll form a loving bond — watch for the heart effects — and after a pregnancy of about a day the mother gives birth in front of you.
  • Cubs are born small. Newborn bear cubs spawn at 30% size and grow to full size over one in-game day. All completely configurable.
  • Stats like a wolf's. Bears use the wolf's diet, feeding behaviour and breeding parameters, so everything works exactly like you'd expect from taming a wolf — just bigger, and with cubs.

Install

Requires BepInEx and Jotunn for Valheim.

  1. Extract the zip into BepInEx\plugins\ inside your Valheim install (the plugins\HeyBooBoo\ folder merges straight in).
  2. Start Valheim through your mod manager of choice.
  3. Find a wild bear, drop raw meat near it, and stay back while it tames.

Note: creatures already loaded into the world are unaffected. Newly spawned bears (after the mod is active) are tameable.

Config

BepInEx\config\wayfarers.tameablebears.cfg — all settings reload on next start.

Multiplayer & dedicated servers

Every client needs the mod. On a dedicated server, drop the same dll into the server's BepInEx\plugins\ — breeding is server-authoritative, so the server must run it too.

Built for the fun of it with Jotunn. Inspiration from every cart roll that nearly flattened a pet Bear. :)
