StarTrophies
Unique trophies for 1★ and 2★ creatures with native star colors (incl. Surtling's blue/purple fire), bigger on item stands. Caps common trophy drop chance at 5% (configurable).StarTrophies
StarTrophies gives 1-star (★) and 2-star (★★) creatures their own trophies. A starred trophy keeps the creature's in-game star look, is bigger on item stands, and is worth more. In exchange, trophies from ordinary creatures drop less often, so every trophy feels earned.
🌟 Features
- Star trophies for 67 creature types. Every regular creature trophy gets a ★ and a ★★ version, created automatically from the vanilla trophy.
- Native star colors. Trophies copy the creature's own star tint (hue, saturation, value, emission). Creatures whose stars are shown by a separate effect get it too: the Surtling trophy burns with blue fire at ★ and purple fire at ★★.
- Bigger on stands and in the world. Size multiplier per star tier (default 1.15× / 1.4×).
- Worth more. Value multiplier per star tier (default ×2 / ×4).
- Rarer common trophies. Base trophy drop chance is capped at 5% (configurable):
- Creatures whose vanilla chance is already ≤ 5% are left alone.
- Bosses and guaranteed (100%) trophies are never touched. That covers Hildir's quest creatures, Kvastur and the white deer.
- Since Valheim 1.0.20, starred creatures get a higher trophy chance (×2 at ★, ×4 at ★★, still one trophy). StarTrophies keeps this vanilla behavior, which gives about 5% / 10% / 20%.
- Works with Valheim's pseudo-random drop protection, so there are no endless dry streaks.
- The Resources world modifier does not change trophy drops.
- Multiplayer and item stands. Star trophies keep their tier when dropped, picked up, or placed on and removed from item stands.
