HearthstoneMod
Adds a craftable Hearthstone that teleports you to your bed spawn point. 10 minute cooldown, reusable, never consumed, no gear loss, bypasses all portal restrictions since it never uses the portal system.HearthstoneMod (Valheim 1.0)
A craftable Hearthstone item. Activate it to teleport instantly to your bed spawn point with your full inventory intact. It's a reusable keepsake, not a consumable, with a short cooldown between uses. It never goes through Valheim's portal system, so none of the usual portal restrictions apply (no ore/metal blocking, no linked-portal pairing needed) - it just moves you.
How to use
- Craft one at a Workbench: 5 Fine Wood, 5 Leather Scrap, 5 Greydwarf Eye (tunable by the server/pack owner - see Configuration below).
- Set a spawn point the normal way - sleep in or claim any bed. That's where the Hearthstone sends you.
- Activate it - right-click the Hearthstone in your inventory, or drop it on a hotbar slot and press your use key. You'll teleport straight to your bed, gear and all.
- Cooldown: 10 minutes between uses by default. You keep the item forever - it's never consumed, just wait out the cooldown to use it again.
Requirements
Needs BepInEx
and Jotunn, and
because it registers a new item/recipe, everyone connecting to the same
world needs the mod installed - it's marked EveryoneMustHaveMod, so
mismatched clients won't be able to connect. If you're playing with friends
by having one person host directly (no separate dedicated server), that host
needs it too, same as everyone else. If you run a separate dedicated server
process, install it there as well.
Configuration
After the first run, BepInEx writes a config file under BepInEx/config/
named after this plugin. Edit it while the game is closed (or with a
config-manager mod while it's running):
[General]
CooldownSeconds = 600
RequireBedSpawnPoint = true
[Recipe]
FineWood = 5
LeatherScraps = 5
GreydwarfEye = 5
Why it bypasses portal restrictions and doesn't drop your gear
Both fall out naturally from how it's built, not from special-casing:
- It never calls into Valheim's
Portal/TeleportWorldsystem at all, so none of the checks that system applies (linked portal required, certain ores/metals blocked, etc.) ever run for this item. - Valheim doesn't drop your gear on a direct position teleport - that's only a death mechanic. This mod just moves your character; your inventory comes with you.
Building from source
This is an open BepInEx + Jotunn mod project; the source (.cs/.csproj
files) isn't included in the packaged download but is available if you want
to modify or rebuild it. In short: it's a net472 class library referencing
BepInEx, Jotunn, and Valheim's own game assemblies (from your local install -
those are never redistributed), built with dotnet build. See the project's
HearthstoneMod.csproj for the exact reference paths - they're driven by
VALHEIM_INSTALL and BEPINEX_ROOT properties/environment variables so they
can point at any install location, including a Thunderstore Mod Manager or
r2modman profile folder rather than the game's own top-level BepInEx
folder (mod managers commonly nest the actual active plugins folder under a
per-profile path).
If you hit a compile error after a Valheim update renamed or reshuffled an
internal field, the fix is usually small: open your own
valheim_Data\Managed\assembly_valheim.dll in a free decompiler (dnSpy or
ILSpy) - this is your own legally-owned copy, so inspecting it locally is
fine - find the closest-named current member, and update the corresponding
line in the source.
