📋 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.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 622 endorsements and 24k downloads.
- Solves a minor annoyance—no more manual door opening.
- 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.
- Only affects doors; other gate types like gates or portals aren't covered.
For Valheim players who build bases and want a smoother experience without constantly pressing E on doors. If you're a builder who hates door management, this is a must-have. Skip if you want more complex automation or if you're playing on a modded server with strict mod compatibility.
💡 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.
