Accessibility

Adds a suite of Valheim-focused accessibility features.

This is a client-side mod created with my close friends in mind, and for the broader gaming communities including Deaf, Blind, low-vision, hard-of-hearing, color-blind, neurodivergent, and accessibility-seeking players.

If there are accessibility features you’d like to see added, feel free to join the Discord and share your ideas. I’m always open to expanding support, including adding entries to the Creature Dictionary for modded creatures when sprite support is available and approved by their respective authors.

Gameplay Preview

Core

• Directional awareness radar for creatures and threats
• Optional audio-based detection logic
• Segment-based threat ring UI
• Icon and silhouette creature indicators
• Multiplayer-safe and dedicated-server compatible
• Designed to enhance awareness without providing unfair automation

How to use:
The primary feature, the Threat Radar Ring, is enabled by default and activates automatically when loading into the world.

Accessibility is highly configurable, I encouraged you to explore configuration options such as:

• Colorblind-friendly UI overlays
• Gamma and brightness adjustments
• Radar detection range tuning
• Threat intensity scaling
• Icon and silhouette display options
• Segment color and contrast adjustments
• Audio awareness synchronization settings

Features

• Threat Radar | Directional creature and enemy awareness ring
• Multi-Channel Identification | Uses icons, shapes, colors, contrast, and labeling for clearer recognition
• Audio Awareness Sync | Prioritizes creatures producing audible cues
• Silhouette Icons | Clean, minimal creature indicators
• Threat Weighting | Dangerous creatures increase radar intensity
• Configurable Range | Adjustable detection distance

Controls

Radar and indicators are passive by default.

Optional hotkeys and UI toggles may be configured, an in-game configuration manager is suggested.

Server Notes

This is a client-side mod and does not need to be installed on servers, but is safe if present server-side.

Requirements

BepInEx

Installation:
Ensure you are running the latest version of BepInEx (linked above).

Place the mod DLL inside BepInEx/Plugins/, including on dedicated servers if applicable.

Mod managers will usually handle installation automatically and are recommended.

Incompatibility

Mods that replace or heavily modify HUD or radar systems may conflict.
