EasyLiving

EasyLiving is a configurable quality-of-life mod for Valheim designed to reduce repetitive maintenance while keeping the core survival and building experience intact.

Features

• Item weight: Normal, Half, Quarter or Zero.
• Food, mead and potion duration: Normal, 2x, 3x or 5x.
• Forsaken/Boss power duration: Normal, 2x or 3x.
• Item durability: Normal, 2x, 3x or 5x.
• Death skill protection: optionally prevents both skill-level loss and partial skill-progress loss on death.
• Player-built structure protection: optionally prevents damage to structures placed by players.
• Vanilla structural support remains enabled: unsupported buildings can still collapse normally.
• Player-built structures can still be removed normally with the hammer.
• Runtime-only gameplay changes; EasyLiving does not rewrite your world or character saves to apply these modifiers.
• Server-synchronized configuration through Jotunn.
• Works in single-player, hosted multiplayer and dedicated-server setups when the mod requirements are met.
