Bardheim adds craftable playable instruments to Valheim: a lyre, hand drum, and
flute. Equip an instrument, toggle play mode, play manual notes with 1-8, or
perform local MIDI songs from your plugin folder.
Version 0.7.0 focuses on local play. Experimental multiplayer audio is present
but disabled by default.
1-8.Ctrl + F3 support for hiding the Valheim HUD and Bardheim overlay together.Thunderstore-compatible mod managers should install both dependencies automatically.

For manual installs, install BepInExPack Valheim and Jotunn first, then place the plugin at:
BepInEx/plugins/Bardheim/Bardheim.dll
All instruments are crafted at a Workbench.

Bardheim loads user MIDI files from:
BepInEx/plugins/Bardheim/songs/
The folder is created automatically when the mod loads. Add .mid files there,
equip a Bardheim instrument, toggle play mode with LeftAlt + P, then use the
song controls to select and play them.
Lyre playback handles melodic MIDI, drum playback uses General MIDI channel 10 percussion where available, and flute playback folds melodic notes into the current flute range.
Multiplayer audio is experimental, both-sides-required, and disabled by default.
Enable Multiplayer.EnableMultiplayerAudio only if every participating player
has Bardheim installed and accepts that two-client validation is deferred to a
later release.
Unmodded players are not expected to hear Bardheim instruments.
This release does not add buffs, skills, server-authoritative music state, synchronized song transfer, Harmony patches, or custom Unity asset bundles.
