📋 About This Mod
This is a reshaping of the black metal axe head into a more historically accurate version (Petersen type C, just like bronze and iron variants). Now it doesn't look like a weird fireman axe anymore.
Installation
After installing Custom Meshes by aedenthorn, paste \AxeBlackMetal into Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes.
Directory structure should then be Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\CustomMeshes\AxeBlackMetal\attach\Model.fbx

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a cosmetic mesh replacement, make sure to back up your original assets if you want to revert easily.
- Check the mod's compatibility with your current Valheim version — the 2021 update date might mean it needs a patch for newer builds.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Thunderstore Mod Manager, installation is a breeze; otherwise, just drop the files into your Valheim folder.
