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: 5.4.2350README
Odin's Essentials
The small fixes Valheim should have shipped with: bigger station ranges, fires that stay lit,
repairing everything in one go, instant Rested, faster portals, no stamina for chores out of
combat, and gear that equips while you run. Client side, no server install. Every tweak can
be switched off on its own.
Part of Odin's Missing Patch, the pack. It works just as well on its own.
⚠️ Alpha. Built heavily with AI, and many ideas come from other mods (see Credits). Co-op testing can lag a release by a week. The source is free to copy under the MIT license; a credit is appreciated.
Features
Tweaks marked ⚖️ go beyond QoL and change how the game plays. They are on by default because I want them, not because they are neutral. Switch them off if you are after tweaks only.
Combat stamina changes exploration the most: climbing mountains is easy, and you can even swim across an ocean. ⛔ A sea serpent still eats you, and since stamina costs return once it hunts you, fleeing it may drown you.
Building and crafting
| Tweak | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ranges | Larger build, craft and repair radius at stations, extensions can stand further away, a larger furniture radius for Rested, and demisters clear a wider circle. 1 is vanilla. |
| Area repair | One hammer repair fixes every damaged piece around you. Hold Left Alt to repair just one. |
| Auto repair | Using a crafting station repairs all your gear, including gear from its sister stations if they are built nearby. |
| Build in water | The hammer and the pickaxe stay in your hand while swimming, so you can build docks and mine rocks without going ashore. Everything else is still put away. |
| Endless fuel ⚖️ | Campfires, hearths, torches, braziers and hot tubs never go out. |
Moving around
| Tweak | What it does |
|---|---|
| Combat stamina ⚖️ | Sprinting, jumping, swimming, building, chopping and mining cost no stamina while nothing hostile is near or hunting you. Bosses always cost stamina. Free swimming means no drowning. |
| Fast portals | The trip ends as soon as the other side has loaded. Dungeon entrances are instant. |
| Resting | Sitting down grants Rested immediately, and you heal based on your comfort level while sitting. |
Gear
| Tweak | What it does |
|---|---|
| Keep gear on death ⚖️ | On the Casual death penalty, chosen item types (weapons, armour, tools, ...) stay in your inventory and equipped. |
| Equip while running | Hotbar presses equip weapons, shields and armour while sprinting. |
| Auto shield | Drawing a one handed weapon raises a shield with it, your favourite first. |
| Power picker ⚖️ | Pick a Forsaken power from the radial menu, without going back to the sacrifice stone. |
| Pocket upgrades ⚖️ | Haldor sells the extra inventory rows after the boss you choose. Wider Pockets comes after the Elder by default. |
Favourite shields are the ones marked with Alt-click in
Odin's Reach; without it, the
hotbar comes first.
Configuration
The config file is BepInEx/config/rauschekuh.odinsessentials.cfg. You can also change settings
in game with a config manager, and they apply right away.
- Every tweak has an
Enabledswitch and its own section. General→ThreatRadius,EnragedEnemiesandBossFightsdecide when you count as in combat for combat stamina.- Coming from Odin's Missing Patch? On the first start, every setting it had under the same name is carried over.
💡 A tweak that is off at game start doesn't touch the game at all. If it clashes with another mod, switch it off and restart. If a game update breaks a tweak, only that tweak switches off, and the BepInEx log names it.
Multiplayer
Nobody else needs the mod. When it touches the world (keeping a fire lit, repairing a piece), it does exactly what you could do by hand. Keep gear on death switches itself off on worlds harsher than Casual.
Translations
The mod follows Valheim's language setting. AI translations ship for English, German, Russian,
Chinese, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Italian, Japanese and Ukrainian. To add a
language, add a column to translations.csv in the mod's folder, named the way Valheim names the
language (Dutch, Czech, ...), and send it in a pull request.
Install
Use a mod manager (Gale or r2modman), or unzip into
BepInEx/plugins/rauschekuh-OdinsEssentials/. Requires the BepInEx pack for Valheim.
