Adds a Carry Weight skill to Valheim. Train it by sprinting or swimming while your inventory is at least half full (relative to max carry weight). Heavier loads level you faster. Each level adds +3 max carry weight (up to +300 at level 100). No XP while over-encumbered (past max weight).
The skill is registered with Jotunn and appears in the normal skills menu with the rest of your skills.
The manager will place CarrySkill.dll under BepInEx/plugins/.
BepInEx/plugins/.CarrySkill.dll from this package into Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ (optionally inside a subfolder).| Training | Sprinting on land (not swimming) or swimming with movement, while current weight ÷ max carry weight ≥ 50%. |
| Speed | Between 50% and 100% load |
| Encumbered | If you are over max weight (IsEncumbered), you do not gain Carry Weight XP from this mod (run or swim). |
| Reward | +3 max carry weight per skill level (+300 at level 100). |

All players who should use the skill need compatible BepInEx, Jotunn, and this mod. The skill uses a stable Jotunn identifier for saves — do not change it between releases if you want existing characters to keep progress.
Mods that change max carry weight, inventory slots, or weight may interact with how “full” you are or how much you can carry. If numbers look wrong, test with conflicting mods disabled.
