Bow Trajectory

See where your arrow is going before you release the shot.

While you draw a bow or aim a crossbow, this mod draws the predicted flight path in front of you and marks where the arrow should land — on the ground, on a wall, or on an enemy.

Works with bows and crossbows
Updates as you aim and draw
Client-side only — no install needed on the server

Manual install (BepInEx)

Install BepInExPack Valheim if you do not already have it.
Extract the zip.
Create a BowTrajectory folder in your Valheim BepInEx/plugins directory (if it does not exist), then copy all files from the zip into it:

Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\BowTrajectory\

The folder should contain BowTrajectory.dll, manifest.json, icon.png, and README.md.
Launch Valheim.

Configuration

After your first launch, settings are saved here:

BepInEx\config\ModdedWolf.BowTrajectory.cfg

Change colors via named presets (White, Red, …, RGB Cycle Slow/Medium/Fast, or Custom + hex), line width, toggle key, hide vanilla crosshair, and more.

In-game: open Mod Configs (pause menu) to edit these settings. You can also use Configuration Manager or the cfg file.

By default the game's own + cursor and bow-draw ring are hidden while the trajectory is showing so the preview is not cluttered. Turn Hide vanilla crosshair off if you want both.

Updating from v1.0.2 or earlier: config moved from dev.modded.bowtrajectory.cfg to ModdedWolf.BowTrajectory.cfg. Your settings are copied over automatically the first time you run v1.0.4+, then the old file is renamed to dev.modded.bowtrajectory.cfg.migrated so migration does not run again.
