Bifrost Gate

A single stone portal hub for your unpaired, named Valheim portals. Build an enlarged gate using twice the resources required by your game's stone portal. Press E at the gate to open a destination grid, search by name, and click a portal to connect. Walk through to travel; the remote portal can return you to the Bifrost Gate. Unpaired portals display [BIFROST] when hovered. Paired portals continue working normally.

The gate has an ice blue spiral and softly glowing blue stone runes, with no smoke effect. The destination grid cannot store or transfer items.

Requirements

BepInEx and Jötunn. Every player and dedicated server must install the mod.

Build locally

Run build-local.cmd to compile against your installed Valheim and install the DLL into the Thunderstore profile detected by the builder. The resulting Thunderstore upload is dist/Bifrost-1.0.0-thunderstore.zip. To choose a profile, run build-local.cmd -ProfileDir "C:\...\profiles\Utility Spells"; use -NoInstall to build without installation.

Install from a release package

Install with Thunderstore Mod Manager, or extract the package's plugins/Bifrost.dll into BepInEx/plugins alongside Jötunn. Remove older Bifrost DLL copies to avoid duplicate mod loads.

Notes

Only one Bifrost Gate can exist in a world. Each player's selected destination is local to that player and is chosen again after restarting. Portal travel follows the game's teleport restrictions. The server refreshes its destination list every three seconds, so newly paired portals can briefly remain visible.
