MonsterFallDamage

Monsters — and optionally the player — now take fall damage with a fully configurable formula.
By default the settings match Valheim's vanilla player values, but you can freely tune or remove the damage cap.

Features

• All monsters take fall damage on landing
• Player fall damage now uses the same configurable formula (toggle via Apply To Player)
• Same formula as vanilla player by default
• Dead monsters are safely ignored
• Multiplayer-safe (only the network owner calculates damage)
• Compatible with BepInEx Configuration Manager for in-game adjustments

Configuration

Located at: BepInEx/config/com.mods.monsterfallDamage.cfg

Setting	Default	Description
Apply To Player	true	Apply this formula to the player as well (overrides Valheim default)
Min Fall Height (m)	4	Falls below this height deal no damage
Damage Interval (m)	16	Damage added for every X meters fallen above the minimum
Damage Per Interval	100	Damage dealt per interval
Max Damage (0 for unlimited)	100	Cap on fall damage. 0 means no limit

Default formula (same as player):

damage = (fallHeight - 4) / 16 × 100, capped at 100

Example — harsher setting (100 dmg per 6.5m, no cap):

Min Fall Height: 4 / Damage Interval: 6.5 / Damage Per Interval: 100 / Max Damage: 0

Changelog

1.0.5

• New: Apply To Player config option (default: true) — the player now uses the same configurable fall damage formula instead of the hardcoded Valheim default. Set to false to restore vanilla player behavior.

1.0.4

• Bug Fix: The plugin was completely non-functional since release. The config key Max Damage (0 = unlimited) contained an illegal character (=), which caused BepInEx to throw an ArgumentException on startup and abort plugin initialization. As a result, no fall damage was ever applied to monsters. Fixed by renaming the key to Max Damage (0 for unlimited).

1.0.1

• Config descriptions changed to English
• Manifest description updated to English
• Package structure improved (plugin subfolder)

1.0.0
