Immersive Camera Enhanced — Version 1. 1. 7

Immersive Camera Enhanced improves Valheim's camera with configurable vegetation culling, collision handling, camera distance, zoom, vanilla first person, indoor clearance, lighting adjustments, and damage direction. It runs locally on the client and does not change world or server physics.

Features

• []Vegetation culling: hides foliage that blocks the camera while keeping gameplay colliders intact. Optional Leaves Only hides foliage but leaves trunks and branches visible. It can activate temporarily when walking toward the camera. Player-built support pillars and stone arches can also be culled; roofs, floors, and walls are not hidden.[/]

  []Camera collision: choose which vegetation, pillars, arches, props, storage, lights, and entities the camera may pass through. Structural surfaces, terrain, rocks, and ores remain solid. Outdoor collision transitions can be smoothed. The camera respects the water surface unless the player is swimming, including compatible swim-state mods such as BetterDiving.[/]

  []Camera distance: use the scroll wheel for third-person distance and set independent maximum distances on foot and in boats (up to 35 m). The optional distance HUD shows the effective distance when it changes or scrolling is blocked by a limit.[/]

  []Vanilla first person: enable it, then scroll to the 0. 5 m minimum to enter; scroll outward to return to third person. Optional camera sway, crouch lowering, and FOV controls are included. Turning the view also turns the character.[/]

  []Alt free look: hold Left Alt (configurable) to look around without changing the character's movement heading, even while moving. Releasing Alt returns the view smoothly.[/]

  []Hold-to-zoom: hold Mouse4 (shown as Mouse3 in Unity) and scroll to adjust magnification; releasing the button resets it. It works in both camera modes, does not change camera distance, and is disabled while the building hammer is equipped. The default starting zoom is 2x; the default maximum is 20x and can be configured up to 40x.[/]

  []Advanced Camera: while sheltered indoors, limits third-person distance and preserves vertical view as walls shorten the camera orbit. Height and corner clearance settings help keep the camera within floor, roof, and edge limits.[/]

  []Brightness: adjust day, night, and fog/cave brightness locally. Zero preserves vanilla brightness; negative values darken and values above 100 brighten further.[/]

  []Damage direction: a local-only 3D arrow points toward the attacker when available. Its direction refreshes every 0. 5 seconds by default while visible; configure the interval, duration, color, position, and separate arrow sizes for first and third person. Sizes can go down to 0. 01; the first-person default is 0. 25. Fall and drowning damage do not show an arrow.[/]

  Quick use

  • []Scroll to the minimum camera distance to enter first person; scroll outward to return.[/]

    []Hold Mouse4 and scroll to zoom; release Mouse4 to reset zoom.[/]

    []Hold Left Alt to free-look without turning the character's movement direction.[/]

    []Use BepInEx Configuration Manager to enable features and adjust values. Numeric options are grouped under each feature's Adjustments section.[/]

    Requirements and installation

    BepInExPack Valheim is required. Configuration Manager is optional. Install through a mod manager or extract the package to Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ImmersiveCameraEnhanced/. Install on the client that wants the camera changes; other players do not need the mod.
