Valheim Blue Archive Mod

BepInEx plugin for Valheim. On death, spare tools stay in your inventory. Everything else still drops under the world's death rules.

This is client-side. The player who dies has to have it loaded. Putting it only on a dedicated server does nothing. Friends install it from Thunderstore in Gale (author Svelte, package Valheim_Blue_Archive_Mod). A Gale profile code that includes this package will carry it.

What it keeps

• Hammers, hoes, cultivators, and other ItemType.Tool items
• Pickaxes
• Woodcutting axes
• Fishing rods
• Butcher knives

Equipped gear stays if the world would otherwise drop it. Quest items are left to vanilla. Spare swords and bag loot still die on Hardcore.

Modded tools keep if they register as a vanilla tool, a pickaxe, or a woodcutting axe. Extra leftovers can be named in IncludePrefabs. Adventure Backpacks is a separate inventory and is not patched.

Install with Gale

1. Open Gale and select your Valheim profile.
2. Search Thunderstore for Valheim_Blue_Archive_Mod (author Svelte).
3. Install, then launch from Gale so BepInEx writes com.ayok.valheim.bluearchive.cfg.
