This mod requires the following mods to function
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim
BepInEx pack for Valheim. Preconfigured with the correct entry point for mods and preferred defaults for the community.
Preferred version: 5.4.2333README
I Can't Swim
Walk on water like it's solid ground. Toggle it on, walk across the ocean, toggle it off.
What It Does
Toggles the player between normal swimming and walking on the water surface. When active, the player stands and moves on top of waves as if they were terrain — no swimming animation, no stamina drain, no wet/cold/freezing debuffs.
Usage
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| E (default) | Toggle water walking on/off |
| Toggle on while submerged | Character rises to the surface over ~2 seconds |
| Toggle on while above 10m over water | Blocked — "Can't water walk from up here!" |
| Walk onto land | Toggle off manually with E |
The mod auto-disables if the player drifts more than 10 meters above the water surface (e.g. climbing a coastal mountain), so it won't go haywire on terrain.
Configuration
Found in BepInEx/config/YouDied.ICantSwim.cfg or via the Configuration Manager (F1 in-game if installed).
