GraveOfTruth

A small Valheim mod that makes dying feel appropriately embarrassing.

• When you die, the obliterator's lightning comes down on your fresh grave, and once the thunder has rolled the loser jingle plays out of it, echoing off the hills — everyone nearby sees and hears it. The bolt is cosmetic and hurts nobody.
• Dying also brings a short thunderstorm down on everyone's head — the whole server gets to watch the sky turn on you.
• Coming back to loot the grave plays the jingle one more time, echo and all, with a gust of wind.

Multiplayer

Install it on every client that should get the show — the death is broadcast from the grave to everyone running the mod, and players without it see and hear nothing. No server-side install is needed, and it does not touch anyone's world or character. Every client puts on its own copy of the lightning, the storm and the jingle, so nothing is ever spawned or played twice.

Install

Install through a mod manager (Gale or r2modman), or drop the contents of the zip into BepInEx/plugins/rauschekuh-GraveOfTruth/.

Requires the BepInEx pack for Valheim.
