DropNSpawn

Configure object and creature drops, object loot, spawners, and world spawning. Add stacked drops, level-scaled trophies, VNEI support, and location-scoped spawner rules.

Domains

Domain	What it controls
`character`	`CharacterDrop` loot, one-per-player drop counting, and drop-in-stack
`object`	Containers, pickables, pickable items, fish, destructibles, mine rocks, trees, and object drop tables
`spawner`	`SpawnArea` and `CreatureSpawner` tables, intervals, caps, level ranges, and location-scoped spawner rules
`spawnsystem`	World `SpawnSystem` rows, biome rules, time-of-day rules, global-key gates, and extended spawn data

spawnsystem is a full replacement domain: the loaded rows become the live world spawn table. Keep every spawn row you still want.

Location

DropNSpawn no longer owns a user-editable DNS_location.yml domain. Boss altar, altar ItemStand, same-boss duplicate blocking, boss despawn, and boss-tamed pressure rules live in the standalone BossRules mod. DropNSpawn keeps internal location lookup helpers for object and spawner locations: selectors.

RuneStone global pins and Vegvisir rewards live in the standalone UsefulRunestones mod.

Character

configure creature loot
merge multiple conditional loot rows for the same creature
VNEI-compatible character drop display
drop creature loot in one stack when configured
onePerPlayer can count nearby living players within the configured range

Object

chest loot replacement
tool-tier and health changes for trees and rocks
tree or rock drop changes
pickable loot changes (bone piles, fish, berries)
destructible health and spawn-on-destroy changes
DNS_object.locations.reference.yml exists because many objects are dependent on locations

Spawner

change spawn tables
change spawn intervals, trigger distance, caps, level range, respawn time
apply location-scoped spawner overrides with top-level locations
ExpandWorldData compatible
DNS_spawner.locations.reference.yml exists because many spawners are dependent on locations

SpawnSystem

The vertical lines in the spawner image are world SpawnSystem checks.

biome/world spawn rules
global-key-gated spawning
time-of-day spawn rules
world-level conditional behavior
ExpandWorldData compatible
This domain is authoritative and replaces the live SpawnSystem table with the rows you define.
Above image explains how Valheim world spawning works.

Workflow

Open BepInEx/config/DropNSpawn/.
Use the generated .reference.yml files to find real prefab names and current values.
Copy only the rows you want to change into DNS_<domain>.yml or DNS_<domain>_*.yml.
Save the YAML file. DropNSpawn reloads loaded YAML at runtime.

Generated samples live in BepInEx/config/DropNSpawn/examples/. They are safe examples until you copy them into an active override file or rename them to a loaded DNS_<domain>_*.yml file.

YAML Files

Loaded override files:

DNS_<domain>.yml
DNS_<domain>.yaml
DNS_<domain>_*.yml
DNS_<domain>_*.yaml

Generated helper files:

DNS_<domain>.reference.yml shows current game data and prefab names.
DNS_object.locations.reference.yml shows which location roots contain object prefabs.
DNS_spawner.locations.reference.yml shows location context for spawner rules.
DNS_<domain>.full.yml is an exhaustive scaffold written by dns:full; it is not loaded.

Use one primary file per domain when possible. Supplemental files are useful for splitting large configs by biome, progression tier, or feature.

Reference Updates

Reference files are generated lookup snapshots. Missing reference files are created automatically, and existing reference files are updated automatically when their source game data changes.

Notes:

DNS_spawnsystem.reference.yml is generated from vanilla and upstream mod SpawnSystem data. DNS_spawnsystem.yml full overrides are not used as reference source data.
DNS_object.locations.reference.yml and DNS_spawner.locations.reference.yml are generated lookup files and are also kept up to date automatically.

Console Commands

dns:reference [object|character|spawner|spawnsystem|all] Regenerates reference files.
dns:full [object|character|spawner|spawnsystem|all] Writes non-loaded full scaffold files.
dns:inspect spawner Shows the current or nearest spawner target and resolved location selector context.

Useful Config

Most server-facing settings are synced from the server.

Domain toggles live under 4 - Domains:

Enable Object Overrides
Enable Character Overrides
Enable Spawner Overrides
Enable SpawnSystem Overrides

General and character settings include:

Lock Configuration
Default SpawnArea Max Total Spawns
OnePerPlayer drop check range
global drop in stack
global drop in stack blacklist
global trophy level multiplier
global trophy level multiplier blacklist

Boss altar rules, same boss duplicate blocking for altars and CreatureSpawner, per-player boss stones, remote Forsaken Power selection, boss despawn, and boss tamed pressure live in BossRules.

Compatibility

If another mod fully owns the same system, disable the overlapping DropNSpawn domain instead of stacking both.

VNEI: DropNSpawn character drops are exposed for normal lookup.
MonsterDB: overlaps with character and spawnsystem.
Drop That!: overlaps with object and character.
Spawn That!: overlaps with spawner and spawnsystem.
Expand World Spawns: overlaps with spawnsystem.

Helpful Mods

ESP for spawners, spawn points, and object info
XRayVision for object components
Infinity Hammer for placing and removing test objects
