GroupHUD

See how your group is doing – at a glance.

by Mobrin · ⚒️ Mobrin's Forge

GroupHUD is a standalone party system for Valheim: invite your friends and see everyone's health, stamina, food, effects, distance and state in a clean HUD that looks like it belongs to the game.

See it in action

• 60 fps showcase – one minute, every feature: watch on YouTube

New in 0.67

• Ping – aim and press Alt + middle mouse (controller: LB + R3): your group sees a purple marker with name and distance, an arrow at the screen edge, a pin on the map and hears a sound; creatures are followed
• Card highlight – whoever pings gets a pulsing purple frame on their card, low health a red one

New in 0.66

• Group chat – /p <message> goes only to your group, in purple, and shows on your card for a moment
• AutoFit – the panel never covers the inventory, crafting, chests, hotbar, minimap or your health – if your group doesn't fit, the cards move closer, get more columns or rows, then get smaller
• Demo mode – /party demo 5 gives you five test cards (only you see them) to set up your HUD alone
• One view everywhere – what you pick with –/=/+ in the inventory is what you see while playing; hotkey Insert

New in 0.65 – from our group sessions

Cards that fade out while everything is calm and pop up when something happens (AutoShow), plus a few moments from our test evenings:

As much or as little as you want

• One click – the –/=/+ button on the panel (or Insert): only bars (+) → bars + food (=) → bars + effects (≡) → everything (–); the view you pick in the inventory is the one you see while playing
• Hide cards – your own card (ShowSelf) or any member with ×
• Hide single effects – right-click an effect in the panel (e.g. Wisplight) and it's gone; the group menu lists them – bring each one back with Show
• Switch off what you don't need – food, effects, guardian power, effect names, numbers, state … every element on its own in the config
• Smaller – PanelScale, fewer effects per row (EffectsPerRow, MaxEffectRows)
• Only when it matters – AutoShow: cards fade out or disappear while everything is calm and pop up when something happens – combat, low health, death, food running out, bad effects or far away; per event you choose what pops up (just the bars, food, effects or everything)

Features

Group system

• Invite via the group menu (open your inventory), by looking at a player, or with /party chat commands
• Accept an invitation with E (controller: X) – no inventory needed, hold to decline; while an invitation is open, E does nothing else
• Accept / decline, leave, kick and pass on leadership with one click
• Leader goes offline? The next member takes over automatically
• Configurable maximum group size
• No friendly fire between group members (optional)
• Group members marked on map and minimap, their names shown in green above their heads (color adjustable) – amber in combat, red with low health, grey when dead

Vitals panel

• Bars for health, stamina, eitr and adrenaline – same colors and textures as vanilla, with numbers (125 / 125)
• Food with icon, name and remaining time, guardian power with cooldown
• Status effects with icon, name and time – including effects from other mods, debuffs highlighted in red; right-click hides an effect you don't care about
• Tooltips for effects and food with the original Valheim description and values – in the panel and also on your own food, guardian power and effects in the vanilla HUD; size adjustable (TooltipScale)
