🚪 DoorOpenerBruh
Automated door opening and closing mechanics for Valheim.
Never get snagged on your castle gates, longhouse doors, or dungeon entrances again! DoorOpenerBruh automatically swings open doors, gates, and drawbridges as you approach, and gently closes them behind you once you depart.
🚪 How It Works
- 🚶 Automatic Approach & Departure: Walk up to any supported door, gate, or drawbridge and it will seamlessly open for you. Walk away and it securely closes behind you.
- 🏰 Full Biome & Structure Support: Works with standard Wood and Iron doors, Darkwood gates, Ashlands doors and gates, and massive Timberwood and Rustic drawbridges!
- 🗝️ Key & Crypt Recognition: Automatically opens locked crypt and dungeon doors if the player carries the matching key in their inventory or equipped backpack.
- 🛡️ Ward & Private Area Respect: Safely respects player wards—doors inside private protected zones will only open for authorized Vikings.
📦 Supported Door & Gate Types
| Structure | Biome / Tier | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Log Doors | 🌸 Meadows / 🌲 Black Forest | Basic residential doors and gates. |
| Iron Doors & Gates | 🐸 Swamp | Sturdy iron fortification gates. |
| Darkwood Gates | 🌾 Plains | Decorative and high-durability double gates. |
| Ashwood & Flametal Gates | 🔥 Ashlands | Heavy molten fortification gates and Ashwood doors. |
| Grausten Doors & Gates | 🔥 Ashlands | Ancient volcanic stone doors and portcullises. |
| Timberwood & Rustic Drawbridges | 🏰 Fortress / Base | Massive multi-panel drawbridges with collision bounds awareness. |
| Crypt & Burial Chamber Doors | ⚔️ Dungeons | Key-validated dungeon and crypt entryways. |
⚙️ Configuration & Settings
Fine-tune global toggles and per-door behavior in the in-game BepInEx Configuration Manager (F1):
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Mod | true |
Globally toggles automatic door opening and closing. |
| Open Distance | 3.0m |
Proximity distance in meters required to trigger door opening. |
| Close Distance | 5.0m |
Departure distance in meters required to trigger door closing. |
| Respect Wards | true |
Prevents unauthorized doors in active ward areas from opening. |
| Auto Open Crypts | true |
Allows dungeon/crypt doors to open automatically if the player carries the key. |
| Per-Door Toggles | true (All) |
Individual enable/disable toggles for every door type in the game. |
🛡️ Advanced Mechanics & Safeguards
- 🌉 Drawbridge Bounds Detection: Utilizes collider-aware bounding box checks across large drawbridges to guarantee the bridge never auto-closes while you are actively traversing it.
- 🔄 Multiplayer Synchronization: Fully synchronizes open/close states across dedicated server clients with zero door desynchronization.
- ⚡ Zero Lag Overhead: Replaced legacy continuous polling with proximity distance triggers for instant, smooth response.
