🛡️ Shield Me Bruh!
Automatic shield pairing and auto-equipping for one-handed weapons in Valheim.
Never get caught in battle with an empty off-hand! Shield Me Bruh! is a sleek quality-of-life mod that seamlessly auto-equips your favorite shield whenever you draw any one-handed weapon (swords, axes, maces, spears, clubs, or knives).
⚔️ How It Works
- 🖱️ Mark Your Shield: Open your Player Inventory and Middle-Click your desired shield. A special Shield Me Bruh! icon appears on the item icon to confirm it is your designated combat shield.
- 🔄 Unmark or Swap: Middle-Click the shield again to unmark it. If you middle-click a different shield while wielding a 1H weapon, your character will instantly equip the new shield!
- ⚔️ Automatic Combat Ready: Whenever you equip a one-handed weapon, Shield Me Bruh! automatically equips your marked shield. Unequipping or switching to a 2H weapon safely stows your shield.
- 💾 Persistent Across Sessions: Your shield selection persists across game saves, world transitions, and character logouts.
🕹️ Controls Summary
| Action | Input / Control | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mark Shield | Middle-Click (in Inventory) | Designates the clicked shield as your auto-equip shield. |
| Deselect Shield | Middle-Click (on Marked Shield) | Removes the mark and disables auto-equip for that shield. |
| Quick Swap | Middle-Click (on New Shield) | Instantly marks and auto-equips the new shield if a 1H weapon is held. |
🛡️ Advanced Safeguards
- 📦 Container Move Protection: Quick-moving items into containers (Ctrl + Left Click) or bulk transfers will never accidentally strip the mark from your shield.
- ⚡ Zero Lag Overhead: Uses clean Harmony prefix/postfix hooks during item equip events with zero per-frame background polling.
