Installation (how-to)
- Install BepInEx
- Place the files in your
/BepInEx/plugins/folder.
Configuration
The configuration file is generated on first launch once OdinBear.dll is installed in the /plugins/ folder.
The mod supports custom localization. Copy OdinBear.English.yml, rename it to your language (e.g. OdinBear.German.yml) and translate the text inside. A basic editor like Notepad or Notepad++ is enough.
The mod has Server-Sync, so admins control the settings with the server config (lock it with Lock Configuration). You can change settings like:
for Bear, Black Bear, Polar Bear: Health, running speed and riding stamina
for Bear Cub, Black Bear Cub, Polar Bear Cub: Health and grow-up time
for each creature: Spawn conditions, taming and drops
for Items and Food: Crafting station, recipes and item stats
