TerrainRewards

Dig the ground. Get rewarded.

TerrainRewards is a configurable Valheim mod that adds item rewards when mining and modifying terrain with a pickaxe.

Instead of digging through the world and getting nothing for your effort, TerrainRewards gives you a configurable chance to discover useful resources while you work.

Features

• ⛏️ Earn resources while mining terrain
• 🎲 Individual drop chances for each reward
• 📦 Configurable item quantities
• 🛠️ Requires a pickaxe
• ⚙️ Fully configurable through the BepInEx configuration file
• 🌎 Designed to feel like a natural extension of Valheim
• 🖥️ Lightweight and simple
• 🔧 Server-friendly configuration

Requirements

TerrainRewards requires:

• Valheim
• BepInExPack for Valheim

When installed through a compatible mod manager, required dependencies can be installed automatically.

Installation

Thunderstore / r2modman

1. Install TerrainRewards through your preferred Thunderstore-compatible mod manager.
2. Launch Valheim once.
3. TerrainRewards will create its configuration file.
4. Adjust the reward settings if desired.
5. Restart Valheim after making configuration changes.

Manual Installation

1. Install BepInExPack for Valheim.
2. Place TerrainRewards.dll inside:

BepInEx/plugins/TerrainRewards/

1. Start Valheim.
2. The configuration file will be generated automatically.

Configuration

After launching the game, TerrainRewards creates a BepInEx configuration file.

The reward system uses the following format:

ItemName:Amount:Chance

For example:

Stone:2:100

means:

• Item: Stone
• Amount: 2
• Chance: 100%

So every successful reward roll for that entry gives the player 2 Stone.

Multiple Rewards

Multiple items can be configured so each resource has its own quantity and drop chance.

Example:

Stone:2:100

Wood:1:25

Coal:1:5

This would configure:

Resource	Amount	Chance
Stone	2	100%
Wood	1	25%
Coal	1	5%

This makes it possible to have common resources appear frequently while making valuable resources much rarer.

Example Setup

Want normal digging to provide Stone with occasional bonus resources?

Try something like:

Stone:2:100

Flint:1:20

Coal:1:5

You can adjust the rewards to make TerrainRewards as generous—or as difficult—as you want.

Pickaxe Requirement

TerrainRewards is designed around actual mining.

Rewards are tied to terrain modification performed using a pickaxe, preventing ordinary movement or unrelated interactions from generating free resources.

Multiplayer

TerrainRewards can be used with multiplayer Valheim worlds.

For the most consistent experience, players and servers should use matching versions and configuration settings.

Compatibility

TerrainRewards is designed to remain lightweight and focused specifically on terrain reward behavior.

If you discover a conflict with another Valheim mod, please report the mod name, TerrainRewards version, and any relevant BepInEx log messages.
