KingsTweaks

An all-in-one quality-of-life mod for Valheim, for both servers and single player.

Install it on a server and every connected player gets the same rules, enforced automatically. Install it on your own game and it works exactly the same way on your own worlds.

Every feature can be turned on or off, and your own display preferences stay yours on any server.

Editing the config file on a running server applies the changes live and pushes them to everyone; most changes require no restart. Admins can also edit settings from an in-game menu.

Structures

• Structures don't decay from rain, even without a roof.
• Optional protection from water damage (waves, tides, flooded ground).
• Optional: only protect structures inside an active ward, so abandoned builds still decay.
• No stamina cost for building, deconstructing, hoeing and planting inside a ward.
• Carts come apart with the hammer, giving their materials back. A cart with anything in it has to be emptied first, so nothing is destroyed with it.
• Workstation upgrades place freely: anvils, the adze, tool shelf, forge cooler, chopping block and the rest no longer ask for more space, so they can sit side by side or against a wall. Their distance from the station is adjustable too — 10 m by default instead of the game's 5.
• Optional build anywhere: removes the no-build zones in caves, crypts, dungeons and around boss altars.

Wards

• Adjustable ward radius.
• Creatures don't spawn inside an active ward, so mobs stop appearing in your base.

Fires and torches

• Optional infinite fuel, with separate toggles for torches, campfires and other fires. Off by default.

Buildable chests

• Fuel Chest — stock it with wood, resin or any other fire fuel. Once a day it refills every fire and torch in range, each with its correct fuel type. Burned-out fires relight automatically. If it runs short it says what to put in — "Needs 24 Wood, 6 Resin" on the chest itself, so anyone walking past can top it up.
• Item Collector — automatically pulls in dropped items within range. Only takes items that have been on the ground for 5 minutes (configurable), so it never grabs items right after they're dropped.
• Trash Can — anything left inside is permanently deleted when you close it.
• Upkeep Chest — once a day it repairs every damaged structure in range, paying a share of each piece's own build materials from the chest. The cost multiplier is configurable, and 0 makes repairs free.
• Sorter Chest — pushes whatever you put inside into nearby chests that already hold the same item. It names where things went — "20 Stone to \"ores\"" — moves what fits when a chest is full, and tells you what has nowhere to go.
• Smelter Chest — feeds ore and fuel to smelters, kilns, furnaces and blast furnaces in range, and collects what they produce.
• Trough — tame animals eat from it instead of being hand-fed. It only puts out food the animals in range actually eat, and only when they're hungry, and it tosses each item towards the animal rather than dropping it on the trough.

Crafting and storage

• Craft from chests: building and crafting can use items stored in nearby chests as well as your inventory. Your inventory items are used first.
• Shared chests: more than one player can have the same chest open at once.

Portal Hubs

A buildable portal that travels to any other hub linked to it.

• Name a hub with the normal portal name box; names are unique across the world.
• Walk into a hub to open its destination list; press Use to manage links. Step away and the list closes.
• Link destinations by name, so nobody can travel to a hub they weren't given.
• Links to hubs that no longer exist are removed automatically.
• Hubs you build are pinned on your map automatically.
• /myhubs lists the hubs you built, and /linkall links all of them to the hub you're standing at.

Portals

• Adjustable range at which portals light up and activate.
• Optional teleport everything: ore, metal bars and anything else normally blocked can go through portals.
• A server can take ordinary portals out of the build menu entirely, leaving Portal Hubs as the only way to travel.

Boats

• Set a custom max health for each boat type: Raft, Karve, Longship and Drakkar.
• Deconstruct boats with the hammer to get your materials back.
• Boats you build get a map marker that follows them, using the boat's own icon, and disappears when the boat does.
• Experimental: build on boats. Pieces placed while standing on a boat attach to it and sail with it.
• Creatures leave empty boats alone. A boat with nobody aboard can't be damaged by wildlife, so a serpent doesn't eat the longship you left at the dock. Players can still break it, and a boat somebody is standing on is fair game as usual.

Tames

• Tame animals standing on a boat stay put instead of wandering off or jumping into deep water.
• Press a key on a tame near a boat to put it on board; press again to take it off onto dry land.
• Tames following you come through portals and Portal Hubs with you.
• Hold your stow key on a tame to track it on the map; the marker follows it. Hold again to stop.
• Adjustable health for tamed animals, either one multiplier for everything or per species, e.g. Boar:2, Wolf:4. Wild animals are untouched, and each animal remembers its original health so changing the multiplier always scales from that.

Planting

• Berry bushes, mushrooms, thistle and dandelions can be planted with the cultivator and grow over time.
• No spacing rule: crops never say they need more room to grow, so you can plant them right next to each other.
