BetterCrossbows

Enhanced crossbow mechanics for Valheim with configurable reload times, movement freedom, and stamina management. Features ServerSync for multiplayer compatibility.

Features

🏹 Crossbow Enhancements

  • Configurable Reload Time: Adjust crossbow reload speed (1-10 seconds, default 4)
  • Reload While Moving: Removes movement restrictions, allowing reloading while moving, jumping, or performing other actions
  • Stamina Management: Option to disable stamina drain during reload

🧠 Smart Reload System

  • Movement Freedom: When enabled, crossbows can reload while moving
  • Stamina Control: Toggle stamina consumption during reload on/off
  • Immediate Application: Changes apply instantly to all crossbows

Configuration

ServerSync Settings

  • Lock Configuration: When enabled, only server admins can change settings

Crossbow Settings

  • Crossbow Enabled: Main functionality toggle
  • Crossbow Loading Time: Reload duration in seconds (1-10, less = faster)
  • Reload While Moving: Remove movement restrictions to allow reloading while moving/jumping
  • Reload Stamina Drain: Toggle stamina consumption during reload

How It Works

  1. Reload Time: Modifies the base reload time for all crossbows
  2. Movement Freedom: When enabled, reload actions persist even when moving
  3. Stamina Control: When disabled, reload actions consume no stamina
  4. Crossbow Detection: Automatically detects all crossbow-type weapons

Recommended Mods

Pair BetterCrossbows with SaveCrossbowState by Azumatt for a better crossbow experience. SaveCrossbowState saves crossbow loaded state when switching weapons, preventing unnecessary reloads.
