Better Diving by Main Street Gaming

This is a fork of the Valheim Diving Mod by Easy_Develope. Special thanks go to Easy_Develope for creating the original mod. Since development has ceased on the original mod, I have created a fork to continue development and implement bug fixes.

How It Works

• Uses built-in Valheim keybinds, so this mod should work with custom keybinds and controllers as well
• While swimming, press the crouch button to enable diving mode
• Diving mode can be cancelled by pressing the crouch button again if near the surface
• While diving is enabled, look in the direction you want to dive and hold your forward movement button (W on keyboard)
• While diving, the Left, Right, Up, and Down movement buttons (WASD on keyboard) can be used to swim in each direction as well
• To return to the surface, look up toward the surface of the water and hold your forward movement button (W on keyboard)
• Diving mode will be automatically cancelled when the player returns to the surface of the water
• While on the surface with diving mode disabled, the player will automatically rest and slowly regain stamina when not in motion
• The player will gain a Diving skill while diving
• Many options can be customized via the config file
