OdinPlus Mod Team Presents: Horse

Produced by: Raelaziel#0954 - Maintained by GraveBear

About

Horse is a custom creature mod that adds a new rideable animal and a variety of new items to Valheim. You can tame it, ride it, have it pull your horse cart, breed it, and store items in its saddlebags.

⚠️ Warning: Please delete your old .cfg file and allow a new one to generate on first launch. ⚠️ Note: This mod may not be compatible with SkilledCarryWeight. ⚠️ Reminder: Use this mod at your own risk. Always back up your character and world files before installing or updating.

Features

• Horses spawn in the Meadows biome, and only on sunny days — so they are intentionally rare.
• Horses may spawn with different coat textures and patterns.
• Horses can be equipped with horse armor, granting a bonus to health.
• Horses can be commanded to Wait Here with a configurable hotkey.
• Horses can pull the horse cart.
• Horses can be tamed using Blueberries, Carrots, Cloudberries, and Barley.
• Tamed, saddled horses can carry a saddlebag inventory, accessible with a configurable hotkey (default: B). Saddlebag size is fully configurable. Items stored in the saddlebags will drop on the ground if the horse dies. Disabled by default — enable in the config when ready.
• Horse offspring will flee from players — keep the area enclosed when breeding.
• Taming and growth times are roughly equivalent to those of the Lox.
• All of the above is configurable via the config file, and syncs with server/admin settings.

Creatures & Items

Every item uses the rae_ prefix — use it to search for or spawn any item from this mod.

Armor Set Bonuses

Installation

1. Install BepInEx.
2. Place the mod files into your /BepInEx/plugins/ folder.

Configuration

A configuration file is generated automatically on first launch once OdinHorse.dll is installed. All settings sync with the server when Server Sync is in use.

The mod supports custom localization. To add a translation, copy OdinHorse.Polish.yml, rename it with your language, and translate the contents using any text editor.

Configurable settings include:

• Creature — Health, speeds, taming time, food duration, and more
• Spawn — Spawn chance, biome, weather conditions, group size, and more
• Horse Procreation — Pregnancy chance, duration, partner range, max creatures, and more
• Horse Offspring — Health, growth time, and drop rates
• Hotkeys — Remove Armor key, Wait Here key, and Saddlebags key
• Saddlebags — Enable/disable (disabled by default), inventory width (columns), and inventory height (rows)
• Map Icons — Show or hide horse and cart map pins
• Items & Food — Crafting requirements and stats
