Mineshafts

Notes

Use the mod on a server to sync configs.
In case of questions you may find me on the OdinPlus or the Valheim modding discord servers.
You may also file an issue on GitHub.

Features

Underground mining

• place down a mineshaft entrance, grab your pickaxe and uncover the riches hiding deep in the earth
• upon entering a mine you may dig around using your pickaxe and eventually find ores
• building within mines is allowed
• it is possible to link up separate mineshafts by digging towards them
• the dug up area will stay behind even when destroying a mineshaft entrance, feel free to reposition entrances
• placing an entrance inside a mine will link it up back to the surface

Abandoned mineshafts

• explore the remains of past mining operations and fight the entrapped miners
• abandoned mineshafts generate throughout the world and contain loot aswell as exposed ore veins
