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: 5.4.2351README
NoCapLumber
NoCapLumber improves woodcutting in Valheim with axe combos, configurable chop damage, next-swing lunge suppression, and a tree health color overlay.
Features
- Separate chop damage multipliers for one-handed axes, battle axes, and dual axes.
- Optional axe combo continuation when hitting tree-type targets.
- Optional slash damage blocking on stump-like woodcutting targets.
- Optional lunge suppression on the next eligible combo swing after an axe chop hit.
- A fixed-position, fixed-size health color overlay that remains visible for one second after an eligible hit.
Colorenables it;Offdisables it. The fill shrinks with remaining health and changes color at one-third and two-thirds health.
Woodcutting targets include TreeBase, TreeLog, tree-typed destructibles, and stump-like destructibles identified by their name and components. The overlay has no number display, drag, resize, or duration controls.
Installation and multiplayer
Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager, or install BepInEx for Valheim and place NoCapLumber.dll in <Valheim>\BepInEx\plugins\. The declared package dependency is denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim-5.4.2350.
Start the game once to generate <BepInEx config directory>\sighsorry.NoCapLumber.cfg. A compatible ConfigurationManager can also edit the settings. ConfigurationManager is optional.
Install the mod on clients and the server, and keep their mod versions aligned. Embedded ServerSync handles the required-mod/version checks and gameplay setting synchronization. UI settings remain local; headless servers skip installation of the UI patches.
Configuration
Server-synced settings: 1 - General
| Setting | Default | Type / range |
|---|---|---|
| Lock Configuration | On |
Toggle: Off, On; restricts synced setting changes to server admins when enabled |
| One-Handed Axe Tree Chop Damage Multiplier | 0.85 |
Float: 0 to 2 |
| Battle Axe Tree Chop Damage Multiplier | 0.7 |
Float: 0 to 2 |
| Dual Axes Tree Chop Damage Multiplier | 0.55 |
Float: 0 to 2 |
| Enable Axe Combo On Trees | On |
Toggle: Off, On |
| Block Axe Slash On Stump Targets | On |
Toggle: Off, On |
| Enable Next Swing Lunge Suppression After Tree Chop | On |
Toggle: Off, On |
Local settings: 2 - UI
| Setting | Default | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Tree Health UI Mode | Color |
Enum: Off, Color |
| Tree Health Color High HP | RGBA components: 0.23, 0.8, 0.34, 0.25 |
Unity Color; health at or above two-thirds |
| Tree Health Color Mid HP | RGBA components: 0.9, 0.76, 0.16, 0.25 |
Unity Color; health from one-third to below two-thirds |
| Tree Health Color Low HP | RGBA components: 0.85, 0.29, 0.27, 0.25 |
Unity Color; health below one-third |
The color defaults above describe red, green, blue, and alpha components, not literal .cfg serialization. Use a compatible ConfigurationManager or preserve the format BepInEx writes in the generated config. Legacy number, layout, lock, and duration UI keys are no longer used.
Building from source on Windows
Requirements:
- The .NET SDK and .NET Framework 4.8 targeting pack.
- An installed Valheim 1.0.7 and BepInEx, including the original
valheim_Data/Managed/assembly_valheim.dlland Unity assemblies. The project does not require publicized game assemblies; non-public gameplay fields are accessed through Harmony field injection and a cached field accessor. - Paths in
environment.propsthat point to those installations. NuGet restore obtains the ILRepack build task; ServerSync is included inLibsand merged into the output DLL.
For implementation, fixes, and local verification, run from the repository root:
dotnet build .\NoCapLumber.csproj -c Debug -p:DeployToGame=true
After compilation and DLL merging succeed, DeployToGame=true copies only the final NoCapLumber.dll into the plugin directory configured by CopyOutputDLLPath in environment.props, overwriting the existing DLL. The default destination is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins. Configured secondary copy destinations are also used if they exist. Compare the SHA-256 hashes of bin\Debug\NoCapLumber.dll and the installed DLL to verify the copy.
When game installation is explicitly to be skipped, use dotnet build .\NoCapLumber.csproj -c Debug -p:DeployToGame=false. Local DLL copying is enabled only when DeployToGame=true.
Debug builds do not update the release manifest or create distribution ZIPs. Release builds are reserved for an explicit release request: they update Thunderstore\manifest.json from the built DLL version and create Thunderstore and Nexus ZIP files. The Thunderstore ZIP contains the DLL, this README, CHANGELOG, manifest, and icon; the Nexus ZIP contains the DLL only. A new ZIP in a Mod Release Manager watched folder can trigger automatic uploads, so do not run Release packaging as a routine build or test. For packaging-only requests, use an unwatched output folder or disable automatic uploads for this project before creating the ZIP.
A successful Debug build verifies compilation, DLL merging, and any requested local copy. Gameplay, Harmony patch behavior, configuration synchronization, and client/host/dedicated-server behavior still require testing in Valheim; this repository has no automated test suite.
CHANGELOG
Version |
Update Notes |
|---|---|
| 1.0.8 | - README change. |
| 1.0.7 | - Updated the embedded ServerSync integration for Valheim 1.0.7 while preserving configuration keys, synchronization policy, and wire formats. - Compile against the original Valheim 1.0.7 game assembly instead of a stale publicized assembly. - Access non-public attack and tree-network fields through Harmony field injection and a cached accessor, preserving existing combo, lunge, damage, and health UI behavior. - Updated the required BepInExPack for Valheim dependency to 5.4.2350. |
| 1.0.6 | - Always dispose the configuration file watcher during shutdown, including when saving the configuration fails. - Corrected the README to describe the current fixed Off/Color tree health UI and its supported settings. - Added explicit DeployToGame control for local DLL installation and documented the Debug build workflow. - Clarified the internal axe woodcutting effects method name without changing damage, combo, or lunge behavior. |
| 1.0.5 | - Unified Release packaging around the root README.md as the single README source. - Release packages now derive their version from the built DLL and update manifest.json automatically. - Thunderstore packages contain exactly DLL, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, manifest.json, and icon.png; Nexus packages remain DLL-only. |
| 1.0.4 | - Simplified tree health UI to fixed Off/Color modes and removed legacy number, drag, resize, and lock options. - Fixed the UI position, scale, and one-second duration with proportional HP color fill. - Skipped client-only UI patches on headless servers and unified required-version enforcement with ServerSync. - Simplified lunge and damage paths and removed the unused localization/YamlDotNet subsystem. |
| 1.0.3 | - Much Simplified tree health UI and config |
| 1.0.2 | - Simplified tree health UI and config |
| 1.0.1 | - Improved dedicated server performance by skipping client-only UI patches on headless servers. - Reduced version handshake timeout checks so they only run while peers are pending validation. - Reworked next-swing lunge suppression to avoid broad physics spherecasts during woodcutting combos. |
| 1.0.0 | - Initial Release |
