Stop Biting My Boat
Boars and Necks have been reminded that boats are not food.
Stop Biting My Boat is a lightweight Valheim mod that prevents shoreline wildlife from treating boats like prey. Boars and Necks will ignore boats as static targets, and their boat damage is blocked as a fallback.
Features
- Boars and Necks no longer select boats as static targets
- Blocks Boar and Neck boat damage as a narrow fallback
- Optional setting to only protect empty boats
- Keeps real threats like skeletons, draugr, trolls, and serpents unchanged
- Lightweight and vanilla-friendly
- Optional debug logging for testing
