📋 About This Mod
This is a fork of aedenthorn's Custom Textures, fixed to work, as far as I can tell, with the current Ashlands build.
All credit to the original authors.
I'm new to Valheim-modding, so I'm more or less flying blind here. Tested to be working in my own game but I can't guarantee anything.
It may be necessary to delete your old config to make this mod work again.
Ground textures are not replaced correctly and will fall back to vanilla textures.
This is a known issue and is probably beyond my expertise to fix.
Description
This mod should allow you to replace the following:
-
[]player model textures
[
]item inventory icons[]equipment textures like armor, weapons, and tools
[]terrain and water textures
[]environmental textures
[]special location textures (villages, crypts, rune stones, etc.)
- world object textures, almost everything else in the game world
It also now supports layers, so you can apply multiple textures to the same vanilla texture (see Layers below).
To create your own custom textures requires basic reading comprehension! It's not that difficult, but please read all of the information below carefully before asking for help.
Basic Usage
To extract the vanilla textures for reference, I use Asset Studio. The textures are in the valheim_Data/sharedassets files.
To replace a texture, you simply add a png file to the folder BepInEx/plugins/CustomTextures with the proper name format explained below, and then load the game.
You can also organize textures into subfolders! If you are publishing a texture pack I encourage you to do this, to allow easy install and removal.
Also, if you are publishing a texture pack, putting your textures in a CustomTextures folder before creating the zip file will allow Vortex to install them automatically!
To reload world textures while in game, there is a hotkey (default Page Down). Note: this doesn't reload any vanilla textures, so if you remove a custom texture file, you'll have to restart the game to see the vanilla texture again.

Here's some kind person's video on how to use this mod with premade texture packs.
Filter Mode
Valheim textures use point filtering, which makes them look pixelated up close. If you want to use bilinear or trilinear filtering for higher-res textures, place your textures in a subfolder named bilinear or trilinear and the mod will change the filter mode for those textures (they can still be in sub-subfolders if you choose).

💡 Beginner Tips

- Back up your original textures before replacing them, so you can revert if something looks off.
- Test with a single texture first to understand the file naming convention before doing a batch.
