BetterDiving

Better Diving by Main Street Gaming

This is a fork of the Valheim Diving Mod by MLIMG/Easy_Develope. Special thanks go to MLIMG for creating the original mod. Since development has ceased on the original mod, I have created a fork to continue development and implement bug fixes.

Like this mod? Development requires a lot of coffee. Support me by buying me a coffee!

How It Works

• Uses built-in Valheim keybinds and works with custom keybinds and gamepads as well
• While swimming, press the crouch button to enable diving mode
• Diving mode can be cancelled by pressing the crouch button again if near the surface
• While diving is enabled, look in the direction you want to dive and hold your forward movement button (W on keyboard)
• While diving, the Left, Right, Up, and Down movement buttons (WASD on keyboard) can be used to swim in each direction as well
• To return to the surface, look up toward the surface of the water and hold your forward movement button (W on keyboard)
• Diving mode will be automatically cancelled when the player returns to the surface of the water
• While on the surface with diving mode disabled, the player will automatically rest and slowly regain stamina when not in motion (based on the players velocity)
• Large waves can hinder the players ability to rest in water
• The player will gain a Diving skill while diving
• The players oxygen bar drain rate is determined by the Diving skill
• Swim faster by holding the Run button
• Faster swim speed and stamina depletion are determined by the players Swim skill
• Stamina is depleted faster while fast swimming above water
• Oxygen is depleted faster rather than stamina when fast swimming underwater
• Many options can be customized via the config file
• Config entries under the Server config and Server config - Water sections are enforced by the server
