LatchLink

LatchLink adds buildable switches that remotely operate linked doors, gates, and compatible drawbridges.

Features

• Wooden Lever, Iron Button, and Rune Switch variants
• Toggle, Open, and Close operating modes
• Multiple doors can be linked to one switch
• Links and modes persist with the world
• Switch visuals follow the actual state of their linked doors
• Configurable link distance and link limit

Modded gates and drawbridges are supported when they use Valheim's standard Door component. LatchLink operates targets through their normal interaction path, so access-control and door-behavior patches from mods such as WardIsLove are respected without requiring a hard dependency.

Keyed and one-way doors can be linked. They retain their normal restrictions: the activating player must have any required key, and a one-way door will not close through a switch.

Recipes

Switch	Materials
Wooden Lever	4 Wood, 1 Resin
Iron Button	2 Fine Wood, 2 Iron
Rune Switch	4 Stone, 1 Surtling Core, 2 Greydwarf Eyes

The required materials unlock each recipe. A nearby workbench is required to place a switch.

Controls

Look directly at a placed switch before using these controls.

Input	Action
Use	Operate the linked group
Shift + Use	Enter or cancel link mode
Alt + Use	Cycle between Toggle, Open, and Close modes
Shift + Alt + Use	Remove every link from the switch
Escape	Cancel link mode

After entering link mode, use the door or gate you want to add or remove. Link mode ends after that interaction. Repeat the process to link another target.

Installation

Install LatchLink with r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager.

For manual installation, install BepInExPack Valheim and Jotunn, then place LatchLink.dll inside BepInEx/plugins.

The mod must be installed on the server and every connecting client.

Configuration

Configuration is generated at BepInEx/config/com.tomtom.latchlink.cfg after the game starts once.
