📋 About This Mod

Since the other mod for automatic doors that I found no longer works in the H&H update, I decided to make one myself.

  • Simple and focused, does exactly what it says.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in January 2022—may not work with the latest Valheim patches.
  • No configuration options mentioned, so you can't tweak detection range or behavior.

🎯 Is This For You?

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the DLL file in your BepInEx/plugins folder—if you don't have BepInEx installed, you'll need to install it first.
  • Test the mod in a single-player world before joining a server to ensure it works with your game version.
  • If doors don't auto-close, check that you're not standing too close—the mod may have a built-in delay.
