✨ Key Features

✅ Pros
- Solves a real annoyance for Valheim players who accidentally open portals or edit signs while building or exploring.
- Simple and focused—does exactly what it says without adding bloat.
- Decent community trust with 72 endorsements and over 1,200 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2021—may not be compatible with the latest Valheim patches.
- Requires crouching for all interactions, which might feel clunky if you're used to quick access.
For Valheim players who frequently misclick on portal tags, signs, or item stands and want a simple fix. Skip if you prefer vanilla interaction behavior or want more configurable options.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod requires crouching, remember to use the crouch key (default Ctrl) before interacting with portal tags, signs, or item stands.
- If you use a mod manager like BepInEx, make sure to install it correctly—this mod likely needs BepInEx to run, even though it's not listed as a dependency.
- Test the mod after a Valheim update to ensure it still works, as it hasn't been updated since 2021.
