BindOnEquip (Character Specific)

A mod for Valheim that allows players to bind items to their account on a character-specific basis, making the items unusable by others.

Description

The BindOnEquip mod adds a feature to bind items to a specific player's account and character upon equipping, making the items unusable by other players while maintaining character-specific progression. Items can still be dropped, but they can only be equipped by the intended character on the bound account.

The item binding checks the SteamID of the account and the player name. If either of them do not match, the item cannot be equipped. This ensures that items are only usable by the intended character on the bound account.

Version checks with itself. If installed on the server, it will kick clients who do not have it installed.

This mod uses ServerSync, if installed on the server and all clients, it will sync all configs to client

This mod uses a file watcher. If the configuration file is not changed with BepInEx Configuration Manager, but changed in the file directly on the server, upon file save, it will sync the changes to all clients.

Code for this mod can be found here
