NoUnderwaterCamera

A tiny client-side camera fix for Valheim.

Balrond Wind Chasers (and some other camera/ship overhauls) relax the vanilla water-distance clamp on GameCamera, which lets the third-person camera dip below the sea surface — you end up staring through the waterline at the seabed while sailing or swimming.

NoUnderwaterCamera re-asserts the vanilla behaviour: after every camera update it pushes the camera back up so it never drops below the water surface. The result is the clean, above-water view the base game gives you.

This is purely a per-client visual fix. The dedicated server has no camera, so it does nothing server-side and is safe to run client-only.

Usage

Just install it. It works automatically — no hotkey, no setup. It runs after Wind Chasers so its clamp is the final word on camera height.

Configuration

Open the in-game Configuration Manager (default F1) → Baka NoUnderwaterCamera, or edit baka.NoUnderwaterCamera.cfg in BepInEx/config:

Setting	Default	Description
Enabled	`true`	Keep the camera above the water surface. Disable to allow the underwater camera again.
Water Clearance	`0.4`	Metres above the water surface the camera is held when it would otherwise dip below. Raise this if the waterline still creeps into view.

Requirements

BepInEx

Works with or without Balrond Wind Chasers installed — without it, the camera already stays above water, so this mod simply does nothing.

Notes

This is a personal quality-of-life mod. It only nudges the camera's vertical position; no game state, ships, or world data are touched.
