PvP Kill Feed

A lightweight, PvP-only kill feed for Valheim.

When a player kills another player, everyone sees a short line at the top of the HUD:

Killer ⚔ Victim

No PvE. No death history. No extra world data. Built for busy dedicated servers.

Features

• Player vs player only — falls, trees, mobs, and bosses never touch the network
• Crossed-swords icon with a faded bar behind each line
• Guilds colors — if Guilds is installed, names use that guild’s color picker RGB. Otherwise names stay white
• Tiny live RPC — names + colors, then gone. Join 5 seconds late and you will not see it
• Server-authoritative HUD — size, position, and padding come from the server and live-reload
• Optional hide — /disablekillfeed hides the UI on your screen only. Your kills still show for everyone else

Screenshots

Without Guilds — names render white.

With Guilds — names use each guild’s color.

Requirements

Mod	Required
BepInEx	Yes
Jötunn	Yes
Guilds (Smoothbrain)	Optional — Guilds colored names when present

Install on the dedicated server and every client.

---

Installation

1. Install with r2modman / Thunderstore, or place PvPKillFeed.dll in BepInEx/plugins/
2. Install Jötunn as well (and Guilds if you want faction colors)
3. Launch once to create BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.pvpkillfeed.cfg
4. Edit the HUD on the server. Clients receive those values automatically

Chat commands

Local to you. Session only. Rejoining the server turns the feed back on.

Command	Effect
/disablekillfeed	Hide the feed on this client
/enablekillfeed	Show it again

These do not stop kills from broadcasting.

Configuration

File: BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.pvpkillfeed.cfg

All HUD keys are server-synced (admin-only). Clients cannot override them while connected.

Key	Default
Position	TopCenter	TopLeft / TopCenter / TopRight / BottomLeft / BottomCenter / BottomRight
OffsetX	0	Horizontal inset (px)
OffsetY	36	Vertical inset (px)
NewestOnTop	true	New kills stack from the top
EntryDurationSeconds	7	Time fully visible
FadeOutSeconds	2	Fade length
MaxEntries	3	Lines on screen at once
FontSize	15	Name size
IconSize	20	Sword icon size (px)
EntrySpacing	4	Gap between lines (px)
BackgroundAlpha	0.55	Bar opacity (0–1)
BackgroundPadX	5	Bar padding X (px)
BackgroundPadY	1	Bar padding Y (px)

Change a value on the server and save — connected clients pick it up without a restart.

Notes

• Killer is the player hit that actually dropped the victim to 0 HP on the victim’s client (Valheim PvP is client-authoritative)
• Duplicate lines for the same death are dropped
• /disablekillfeed is never saved; it is not a config flag
