📋 About This Mod
This mod automatically adds pins to the map for ore veins.
Pins will be added for all veins within some range, they aren't saved and will be automatically removed if you move to a different area.
In the future I want to add more objects to the pins (e.g. dungeons) and make them configurable.
Installation
-
[]Install BepInEx following the instructions at the link.
- If you have Valheim Plus, you can skip that step as it already includes it with the download.[

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,349 endorsements) — this is a must-have for any Valheim player tired of marking every copper node by hand.
- Zero effort setup: just install and forget, pins appear automatically.
- Massive download count (79k+) proves it works across many playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be compatible with the latest Valheim patches, so check for updates.
- Only covers ore veins — if you want pins for other resources, you'll need additional mods.
- No config options mentioned — you can't tweak pin style or which ores are included.
For Valheim players who hate constantly opening the map to mark ore deposits while exploring. Perfect for builders and explorers who want to focus on gameplay, not map admin. Skip if you prefer manual pin control or play with mods that already add resource pins.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have BepInEx installed, as most Valheim mods require it — check the mod page for dependencies.
- After installing, test on a new world or area to see pins appear as you discover ore veins.
- If pins don't show, verify the mod is enabled in your mod manager and that your game version is compatible.
