๐Ÿšช DoorOpenerBruh

Automated door opening and closing mechanics for Valheim.

GitHub Release Thunderstore Version Nexus Mods
Discord License: MIT


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.

๐Ÿšช How It Works

  • ๐Ÿšถ 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.
  • ๐Ÿฐ Full Biome & Structure Support: Works with standard Wood and Iron doors, Darkwood gates, Ashlands doors and gates, and massive Timberwood and Rustic drawbridges!
  • ๐Ÿ—๏ธ Key & Crypt Recognition: Automatically opens locked crypt and dungeon doors if the player carries the matching key in their inventory or equipped backpack.
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Ward & Private Area Respect: Safely respects player wardsโ€”doors inside private protected zones will only open for authorized Vikings.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Supported Door & Gate Types

Structure Biome / Tier Key Features
Wood & Log Doors ๐ŸŒธ Meadows / ๐ŸŒฒ Black Forest Basic residential doors and gates.
Iron Doors & Gates ๐Ÿธ Swamp Sturdy iron fortification gates.
Darkwood Gates ๐ŸŒพ Plains Decorative and high-durability double gates.
Ashwood & Flametal Gates ๐Ÿ”ฅ Ashlands Heavy molten fortification gates and Ashwood doors.

Crypt & Burial Chamber Doors โš”๏ธ Dungeons Key-validated dungeon and crypt entryways.

โš™๏ธ Configuration & Settings

Fine-tune global toggles and per-door behavior in the in-game BepInEx Configuration Manager (F1):

Setting Default Description
Enable Mod true Globally toggles automatic door opening and closing.
Open Distance 3.0m Proximity distance in meters required to trigger door opening.
Close Distance 5.0m Departure distance in meters required to trigger door closing.
Respect Wards true Prevents unauthorized doors in active ward areas from opening.
Auto Open Crypts true Allows dungeon/crypt doors to open automatically if the player carries the key.
Per-Door Toggles true (All) Individual enable/disable toggles for every door type in the game.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Advanced Mechanics & Safeguards

  • ๐ŸŒ‰ Drawbridge Bounds Detection: Utilizes collider-aware bounding box checks across large drawbridges to guarantee the bridge never auto-closes while you are actively traversing it.
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Multiplayer Synchronization: Fully synchronizes open/close states across dedicated server clients with zero door desynchronization.
  • โšก Zero Lag Overhead: Replaced legacy continuous polling with proximity distance triggers for instant, smooth response.

๐Ÿ“ฅ Installation & Server Setup

Mod Manager (Recommended)

๐Ÿ”’ Anonymous Telemetry, Error Reporting & Privacy

DoorOpenerBruh includes lightweight, privacy-first telemetry and error reporting to help monitor mod stability, diagnose unhandled bugs, and track active version adoption across game updates.

  • 100% Anonymous: We never collect personal data, Steam IDs, IP addresses, character/world names, or file system paths. Stack traces from errors are automatically sanitized to strip local user directories.
  • Granular Player Control:
    • Anonymous Telemetry (Opt-In): Tracks version adoption and session launches. Defaults to unchecked / disabled when first loaded (Enable Anonymous Telemetry = false).
    • Error Reporting (Opt-Out): Captures sanitized mod crash diagnostics to rapidly identify and fix bugs. Defaults to enabled (Send Error Reports = true) with one-click opt-out.
    • Data Disclaimers: Hover over any toggle in the startup modal for interactive tooltip disclaimers detailing exactly what data is transmitted.
  • In-Game & Online Privacy Policy: The full privacy policy can be viewed directly in-game by clicking [ PRIVACY POLICY ] on the startup splash modal, or online at vapok.io/privacy-policy.
  • Configuration Files: Settings can be managed in-game via the startup modal, through the BepInEx Configuration Manager, or under [Local Config] in BepInEx/config/vapok.mods.dooropenerbruh.cfg.
