SpearFishing

A fresh take on spearfishing for Valheim.

I wanted early-game fishing that feels rewarding without breaking how the game progresses. The old spearfishing mods either felt broken after updates, or turned every fish into a full catch and skipped the cooking/prep loop entirely. This mod is built around one idea:

Hitting a fish with a projectile should feel like birds dropping feathers — a juicy starter reward — while the fishing rod and bait crafting stay the real path to better fish.

What it does

Catch perch, pike and other fish with:

Thrown spears
Abyssal Harpoon
Bows
Crossbows

Each speared fish drops 1× Raw fish (FishRaw) by default.

Method	What you get
Spear / bow / crossbow	1× Raw fish on the water (floats so it doesn’t sink)
Abyssal Harpoon	1× Raw fish straight into your inventory (floats if you’re full)
Fishing rod (vanilla)	Whole fish — unchanged
Food preparation table (vanilla)	Whole fish → 2+ Raw fish — unchanged

So you can cook fish early in Meadows, but if you want better yields and the rare stuff, you still craft baits, fish with the rod, and use the prep table. Progression stays intact.

Design notes

Only hooks the projectile hit — no per-frame fish patches, so swimming around schools of fish stays smooth
Floating is applied only to the dropped Raw fish instance from a catch (the FishRaw prefab itself is not modified)
Compatible with current Valheim cooking flow (Raw fish → cooking station)
Incompatible with Korppis Spearfishing — disable/remove that one first

Config

Credits

Inspired by the classic spearfishing concept from Korppis — Spearfishing. This is a new implementation with a different loot/progression design, not a reupload of that mod.
