📋 About This Mod

Features

A Valheim mod that allows you to switch between 3 modes, by default with the H key.

  • []First Person headless (config: FirstPersonNoHelmet)

    []Third Person (original game experience, config: ThirdPerson)

    [](Experimental) First Person Hidden Helmet (config: FirstPersonNoHelmetAlt)

    [](Experimental, buggy) First Person Visible Helmet (config: FirstPersonHelmet)

    [](Experimental, buggy) First Person No Body (config: FirstPersonNoBody)

We recommend using the headless mode, which is also set as the default mode together with third person. While the helmet mode might add to the immersion factor, it can get in the way. First Person Hidden Helmet is a direct alternative to headless mode, where your head shadow will be visible but there are possible artifacts visible due to the head mesh

There are also various rotation options that determine what happens when your camera rotates further left or right than what your neck would allow you to. Please see the config section for more information!

Installation

This mod relies on BepInEx, found here

Download this mod from here or directly from our GitHub repository and place it in your Valheim\BepInEx\Plugins folder. If this folder doesn't exist yet, you can create it.

Updating

Simply replace the .dll with the new one, then run the game once. This will update the config file with the new options. Quit the game, then you can edit these and restart the game to enjoy the new features!

Configuration

Navigate to the Valheim\BepInEx\config folder and open the com.loki.clientmods.valheim.firstperson.cfg in a text editor of your choice. If the file doesn't exist, run the game at least once with the mod installed.

Body changes

  • []Modes - Configure which modes you want your game to cycle through, separated by commas. By default, this is FirstPersonNoHelmet,ThirdPerson but you can also try our experimental FirstPersonNoHelmetAlt, FirstPersonHelmet or FirstPersonNoBody

  • []MeleeAimFix is the setting you'll want to change to enable aiming up and down. This is a major change that indirectly affects a few other

    things, so if you're experiencing niche problems you might want to disable this to see if this helps. Only works with the headless NoHelmet mode.[]ShowBodyWhenAiming - When MeleeAimFix is false, the bow might obscure your vision too much. Set this to false to hide the bow when aiming.

    []ShowBodyWhenBlocking - Same as the aim option, but for shields.

    []JawFix - When in Helmet mode, your chin is visible due to a limitation of the player model. Enabling this fix attempts to reduce

    this glitch, but it might negatively impact how some helmets are shown.
