BIRDUP
Become a crow from the G menu. Collision-aware forward flight, momentum, sprint and pitch controls, local flight energy, compact hitbox and hidden player markers. Standalone; install on server and all clients.🐦 BIRDUP!
Take a crow's-eye view of Valheim! 🌲
Balanced for short bursts of exploration: a full charge gives 15 seconds of normal flight and takes 60 seconds to refill from empty. Flight is a little boost for your travels, with walking still part of the adventure.
🎮 Spread your wings
Using the default controls:
- G → Bird form to transform; Return to Viking to change back.
- Space to take off, aim to steer, and hold Shift to fly faster.
- Descend toward the ground or press Ctrl to approach a landing.
Want a shortcut? Bind Bird form — BIRDUP in Settings → Keyboard & Mouse. The same key changes you into and out of bird form. New installs start unbound.
Flying always moves forward, builds momentum, and respects solid obstacles. Climb a little slower, dive a little faster—and watch those branches!
⚡ A little lift, then a breather
Energy drains only during flight. Rest on the ground or return to human form to recharge. Sprinting uses 15% more energy, and running out returns you to Viking form.
Enjoy a tiny feather puff when transforming! Your overhead name, healthbar, and live map marker are hidden from other players while you're a bird.
