DoorOpenerBruh
An automatic door and gate opener/closer for Valheim.Never get snagged on your castle gates, longhouse doors, or dungeon entrances again! DoorOpenerBruh automatically swings open doors, gates, and drawbridges as you approach, and gently closes them behind you once you depart.
๐ช How It Works
- ๐ถ Automatic Approach & Departure: Walk up to any supported door, gate, or drawbridge and it will seamlessly open for you. Walk away and it securely closes behind you.
- ๐ฐ Full Biome & Structure Support: Works with standard Wood and Iron doors, Darkwood gates, Ashlands doors and gates, and massive Timberwood and Rustic drawbridges!
- ๐๏ธ Key & Crypt Recognition: Automatically opens locked crypt and dungeon doors if the player carries the matching key in their inventory or equipped backpack.
- ๐ก๏ธ Ward & Private Area Respect: Safely respects player wardsโdoors inside private protected zones will only open for authorized Vikings.

| Enable Mod | true |
Globally toggles automatic door opening and closing. |
| Open Distance | 3.0m |
Proximity distance in meters required to trigger door opening. |

- ๐ Multiplayer Synchronization: Fully synchronizes open/close states across dedicated server clients with zero door desynchronization.
- โก Zero Lag Overhead: Replaced legacy continuous polling with proximity distance triggers for instant, smooth response.
