📋 About This Mod

Overview

Turn your character into an "item" magnet and pull loose items towards you. Items that are in the magnet's radius will fly towards your character. Stones, flint, berries, mushrooms, monster drops, wood, etc... will all fly towards your character. The magnet feels bad about taking your tamed animal's food, so it won't do that. If Flying items are not your style you can turn on teleporting items which will instantly teleport items to your character instead of animating the item. Useful if you find that items are always getting stuck on ledges. Filter out items you don't want to be effected by the magnet by adding them to the filter list.

    How to use

    You can turn the magnet off and on using hotkeys. The default hotkey is F9. You can also change the way items move to your character by turning on or off item teleportation. The default hotkey to turn this on is ctrl+F9. You can change the default hot keys in the bepInEx configuration manager. You can filter out items you don't want to be affected by the magnet. This filter can be enabled and disabled via default hotkey (Z).  By clicking and dragging an item in your inventory and pressing the add item to filter hotkey (Shift+Z). You can do the same thing if you wish to remove an item from the filter.

    You can also manually add it through bepInEx configuration manager. Item names can be found here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Localization remove the “item_” at the beginning of the item name. For example if you wanted to manually add stone to the filter you would find stone on that list “Item_stone” remove it so you have “stone” then add it to the config. Make sure to separate items via comma!

    Here is an example item filter string:coal,stone,bronze,copper,tin
