FishComp

Run server-wide fishing competitions in Valheim!

Features

• Admin-controlled fishing competitions with a configurable countdown timer
• Live leaderboard showing who's caught the most fish, visible to all players
• Automatic winner announcement in chat when the competition ends
• Configurable leaderboard panel position

Admin Commands

• fishcomp_start <minutes> — start a competition for the given number of minutes
• fishcomp_end — end the competition early and announce the winner
• fishcomp_reset — clear the leaderboard and hide the panel
• fishcomp_setpos <x> <y> — reposition the leaderboard panel (any player can adjust their own view)
• fishcomp_testui — toggle a test view of the leaderboard panel for positioning purposes

Requirements

• Jotunn 2.30.0 or later (installed automatically as a dependency)

This mod must be installed on the dedicated server AND on every connecting client. It enforces that itself: a client without it, or running a different major/minor version, is refused at connect with a mod-compatibility message rather than silently misbehaving.

How It Works

A server admin starts a competition with fishcomp_start <minutes>. All players see a live leaderboard appear showing the current fish-catch standings. When the timer runs out (or an admin ends it early), the winner is announced to everyone in chat.

Compatibility

• Valheim 1.0.7 (Deep North), network version 39
