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: 5.4.2360README
Friendly Trollstav
An unofficial Valheim mod that adds player protection to Trollstav and its summoned trolls.
Experimental initial release. In-game validation is pending. This package has been compiled and its game-method hooks checked against Valheim 1.0.21. Complete gameplay testing before publishing it.
Features
- Excludes players from the summoned troll's enemy selection.
- Clears an existing player target during the troll's next target update.
- Blocks summoned-troll damage against players.
- Tags Trollstav projectiles and related impact/area effects to protect players from those effects.
The mod works with the normal Trollstav (StaffRedTroll) and Summoned Troll (Troll_Summoned). It also covers existing summoned trolls after the mod loads. No new items, crafting recipes, or controls are added.
Scope
Player protection is the focus of this mod. Tamed creatures, structures, trees, and terrain retain their normal interactions with summoned trolls and Trollstav effects. The summoned troll retains its native health, damage against enemies, abilities, summon limits, and staff costs. Regular wild trolls retain their normal behavior.
Installation
Mod manager
Install FriendlyTrollstav through your Valheim mod manager. The manifest declares BepInExPack Valheim as a dependency.
Manual
- Install BepInExPack Valheim.
- Copy the included
BepInExfolder into your Valheim installation folder. - Restart Valheim completely.
The plugin file belongs at BepInEx/plugins/FriendlyTrollstav/FriendlyTrollstav.dll.
Usage

For console testing with developer commands enabled:

Multiplayer
Multiplayer and remote authority have not been tested. For any multiplayer testing, install the same mod version on the server and all clients. Do not assume a client-only installation protects every player.
