Wearable Torches (Valheim)

Because nights are too dark in Valheim and why not put a real light on your back ?

A lightweight cosmetic mod that allows you to wear a torch on your back, using the same G key when torch in hand.

Fully client-side but network-synced: other players with the mod installed will see your torch.

Features

• Press G to toggle the torch when in hand.
• Uses the real torch mesh (and works with all items whose name contains “torch”, e.g. TorchMist)
• Fire FX cloned from your equipped torch
• Custom warm point light on the back torch
• Fully safe for multiplayer (no extra items created or dropped)
• Purely visual: no additional ZNetView / ItemDrop instances are spawned
• No loot spawned on reconnect

Multiplayer

• Torch state (enabled/disabled on the back) is synced using ZNetView / ZDO
• Only visual objects are created locally on each client
• Other clients must have the mod installed to see your back torch

Installation

1. Install BepInExPack for Valheim
2. Drop WearableTorches.dll into a folder inside BepInEx/plugins

Or install in on R2ModMan :)
