Named Pet Tags

A Valheim mod to change the behavior of tamed creatures by putting tags on their names.

Installation

• Extract NamedPetTags.dll file to your plugins folder.

Features

• When naming a tamed creature, you can one or many of the the following tags:
• <pet> prevents the creature from taking damage entirely.
• <bed> doesn't prevent it to take damage, but teleports it to the player's bed if the damage would be fatal.
• <spay> prevents a creature from breeding or laying eggs.
• <follow=n> enables (1) or disables (0) the ability of the creature to follow the player when interacted with; doesn't work on Hens.
• <h=n> alters hue of the creature's material, if possible; doesn't work on Hens.
• <s=n> alters saturation of the creature's material, if possible; doesn't work on Hens.
• <v=n> alters value of the creature's material, if possible; doesn't work on Hens.
• Pet, Bed and Spayed will appear in the creature's hover text to indicate those tags are active.
• When both Pet and Bed tags are present, the creature will be sent to bed if it takes fatal damage in a single hit, for example from the Butcher's Knife.
• Works on Valheim 0.217.24

Examples

• Name a boar <bed><spay><follow=1>Mr. Tusks<s=100><h=340><v=25> to color it a deep red, make it go to bed when it would take fatal damage, never breed, and follow the player when interacted with.
• Name a wolf <v=-15><s=50><h=200>Good Boy<follow=0><pet> to color it dark blue, prevent it from taking any damage, and not follow the player when interacted with.
