OreDropsOnMe
Intended for TopMining; may also work with similar mining mods using Valheim's native MineRock5 drop flow.Ore Drops on Me
A standalone BepInEx plugin intended to work with TopMining by BlackViking. It moves player-caused MineRock5 drops away from the deposit's breaking point and into the miner's surroundings. It may also work with similar mining mods that use Valheim's native MineRock5.DamageArea(int, HitData) drop flow.
For each player-caused MineRock5 drop, the mod tries a clear spot just above the player. If overhead space is blocked, it searches nearby ground behind and beside the player, preferring the closest ring with clear positions. The search checks for collision geometry and places the drop slightly above the ground.
Only the native drop-position calculation in MineRock5.DamageArea(int, HitData) is changed. Drops from trees and other game objects are outside this patch. Non-player damage keeps the game's native positions.
Config
The mod creates com.codex.oredropsonme.cfg with:
[General] OreDropsAtMiner = true— set tofalseto keep the game's native drop positions.
The option is independent of TopMining's key and mode settings. It works for player-caused MineRock5 drops even when TopMining's top-mining mode is not active, matching the previous integrated behavior.
Requirements
- BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2350 or later
- Intended for TopMining by BlackViking (the plugin soft-loads after
Uwazouri.TopMiningwhen present)
Similar mods may also work if they use the same native method and drop-position pattern; other drop systems are not covered.
Install
Place OreDropsOnMe.dll in BepInEx/plugins/OreDropsOnMe/. Keep the original TopMining DLL installed normally.
