📋 About This Mod
Just zoom all the way in to go into first person mode. There is a config file for FOV, bow/shield movement, etc... the faceoffset might need to
be tweaked depending on your face/hair -0. 1 is a pretty safe bet, some
can get away with 0

Some info about this mod:
The goal of this mod is to incorporate a first person view, while still retaining as much of the original feel as possible.
I think the feel of the game is great as-is, I just want to bring that to
a first person view without changing the vision of the game.
I've added a configuration file for FOV and a couple other things. It is
generated first time you run the game with the mod loaded, example at
bottom of page. (located in
"... Valheim\BepInEx\config\CameraMod. Kailen_.cfg"
Installation: after installing BepInexPack just put the CameraMod.dll in the plugins folder (in its own nested folder if you want)
...steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\
