First Person Mode
With this mod, you'll be able to play the game in first person view! This mod goes beyond just zooming the camera into your body - there are many more changes and tweaks to fully support a first person game experience.
You'll be able to aim your weapons and tools, allowing you to strike up or down as well, something impossible in the original game. You can also build in first person, making it easier to build in cramped spaces.
You can switch between 3 modes, by default with the H key.
- First Person headless
- First Person with helmet
- Third Person (original game experience)
We recommend using the headless mode, which is also set as the default mode. While the helmet mode might add to the immersion factor, it can get in the way.
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.
- 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.
- ShowBodyWhenAiming - When MeleeAimFix is
false, the bow might obscure your vision too much. Set this tofalseto 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.
- Hotkey is the key you'll have to press to change the first person mode. Note that this is the only key you should press, e.g. if you're walking forward it won't work.
- StartsEnabled - set this to true to start in first person mode.
- FPSNearPlane - leave this setting alone if you don't know what it does, but if you want to adjust the near plane (e.g. to tweak helmet mode clipping issues)
