README

I Can't Swim

I can't swim, because I don't have to. Walk on water like it's solid ground. Simple, clean, and surprisingly useful.


What It Does

Toggles the player between normal swimming and walking on the water surface. When active, the player stands and moves on top of waves as if they were on terrain — no swimming animation, no stamina drain, no wet debuffs.


Usage

Action Result
E (default) Toggle water walking on/off
Toggle on while submerged Character rises to the surface over ~2 seconds
Toggle on while above 10m over water Blocked — "Can't water walk from up here!"
Walk onto land Toggle off manually with E

The mod auto-disables if the player drifts more than 10 meters above the water surface (e.g. on a mountain), so it won't go haywire on uneven coastal terrain.


Configuration

Found in BepInEx/config/YouDied.ICantSwim.cfg or via the Configuration Manager (F1 in-game if installed).

Section Key Default Description
General Enabled true Master on/off switch
General ToggleKey E Key to toggle water walking
Movement WalkSpeed 1 Walk speed multiplier (1–5)
Movement RunSpeed 1 Run speed multiplier (1–5)
Secret RisingAnimation false Enable the cinematic rising transition when toggling on while submerged

Speed values are whole numbers 1–5. At 1 the player moves at normal land speed; at 5 they cover ground very quickly.


Notes

  • Works on any body of water — oceans, rivers, lakes
  • Status effects (wet) are suppressed while active
  • Jumping works normally on the water surface
  • Walk onto shore and press E to disable — there's no automatic shore detection
  • The mod is designed for ocean-level water; behaviour at high-altitude water bodies may be unpredictable

Requirements

  • Valheim 0.221.12+
  • BepInEx Pack for Valheim 5.4.23+
