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: 5.4.2333
ValheimModding-Jotunn
Jötunn (/ˈjɔːtʊn/, 'giant'), the Valheim Library was created with the goal of making the lives of mod developers easier. It enables you to create mods for Valheim using an abstracted API so you can focus on the actual content creation.
Preferred version: 2.29.1README
Hack 'n Sap
Get Hacking. Stand directly beside a tree or log, aim at it, and press Use to start chopping with your equipped axe.
Hack 'n Sap uses the axe's normal primary attack. Stamina, durability, Wood Cutting skill, damage, effects, drops, and target health all remain vanilla. Cancel whenever you like—the next session resumes from the tree or log's actual remaining health.
What it does
- Adds an adjacent Use-key interaction to fellable trees and felled logs.
- Repeats ordinary axe swings without replacing Valheim's damage pipeline.
- Supports every discovered tree that produces logs, including Ancient, mature
Yggdrasil, and Ash trees using the standard
TreeBase/TreeLogpipeline. - Turns old, unprotected stumps into natural saplings of their source tree.
- Decays abandoned logs away without drops after a configurable delay.
- Protects stumps and logs inside player-base areas by default.
- Synchronizes gameplay configuration through Jotunn.
Controls
- Use: start or stop hacking while aiming at an adjacent tree or log.
- Moving, dodging, staggering, being knocked back, attacking manually, changing tools, or leaving the target stops the session.
An equipped axe with chop damage and remaining durability is required.
Configuration
You can independently configure tree and log interactions, an optional distance cap, stump renewal days, log decay days, base protection, and diagnostic logs.
Installation and multiplayer
Install with r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager, or place the DLL in
BepInEx/plugins after installing BepInEx and Jotunn. Every multiplayer peer and
the server should install the mod.
