📋 About This Mod
Hearth and Home introduced a Block Force stat.
This "pushes" enemies backwards whenever players blocks their melee attacks.
But for most shields, this new knockback throws enemies so far away, the player cant even launch a counter attack anymore!
This super simple mod changes the GetDeflectionForce() calculation so Block Force is now always 0.
No more yeeting your enemies out of your own attack range!
Installation
1. Download Blockheim. 7z and unzip (7zip)
2. Make sure BepInEx is installed
3. Locate your Valheim\BepInEx\plugins folder (Probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins )
4. Place Blockheim.dll into that plugins folder
To uninstall, simply delete Blockheim.dll from the plugins folder (just not while game is running)
Should be compatible with virtually any other mods, so long as they dont also modify GetDeflectionForce().
Blockheim is a compact gameplay mod for Skyrim that removes the Block Force stat, which normally prevents knockback when blocking. It's for players who want more dynamic combat physics. With 30 endorsements and last updated in 2021, it's a niche tweak with a small but dedicated following.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just removes Block Force
- Small but loyal user base (30 endorsements) suggests it works for those who want it
- Last updated in 2021, so it's relatively recent for a simple mod
⚠️ Cons
- Only 30 endorsements—might be overlooked or niche
- May conflict with other combat overhauls that rely on Block Force
For Skyrim players who find blocking too static and want more realistic knockback physics. Skip if you prefer the vanilla blocking stability or use combat mods that depend on Block Force.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple plugin, just drop the .esp into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager.
- If you use a combat overhaul like Wildcat or Ordinator, test blocking early to ensure no conflicts.
- Load order likely doesn't matter much, but place it after other combat mods to be safe.
