A simple spear ownership mod for Valheim.
Why? As a spear user, when playing in multi-player with friends, spears cannot be thrown without risking pickup by another player. Because of this, spear users must essentially opt-out of using the spear's special ability when playing with others to avoid confusion and/or lose their weapon.
This mod solves that issue by providing player ownership of spears.
To take ownership of a spear, simply pick up an unowned spear.
Once owned, a spear can be disowned by throwing it on the ground
and using the L-Alt + E key combination when hovering over it
with your cursor.
Just like binding a spear to yourself, other players in the world may bind any unbound spear to themselves; for this reason, it's a good idea to take ownership of any spears outside of your inventory when first running this mod (spears in storage, item stands, etc).

This mod must be installed on all clients who participate; players without this mod will be able to pick up all spears in the world they have access to.
Place HoldMySpear.dll into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins and run Valheim.
Much of the understanding of BepInEx, Valheim and HarmonyX APIs was derived through Azumatt's BindOnEquip plugin.
The name of this project was suggested by Chee, a user on Discord.
I spend most of my time these days playing and modding Valheim. Any donations are greatly appreciated and can be given through my Buy Me A Coffee page.
Thanks to all of those who support my work! This kind of support gives me more ability to work on mods with my time :)
