Item Policy

Item Policy

InterServerPortal keeps Valheim's vanilla item rules for portals, and applies them to inter-server and network travel too.

The rule

Portal	Teleport-restricted items (ores, metals, etc.)
portal_wood	Blocked — you can't carry them through
portal_stone	Allowed — carries everything (Ashlands stone portal)

This is fixed by prefab — there is no per-portal override to configure. What a wood or stone portal carries is exactly what it carries in vanilla; the mod just enforces the same rule when you travel between worlds or across your network.

What happens if you're blocked

If you walk through a wood portal while carrying restricted items, travel is refused and you get a centered message naming the offending items. Drop or store them (or use a stone portal) and try again.

When it's checked

The item check runs just before the switch/teleport — after any lock-code prompt. So the order is:

1. Lock code (if the portal is locked)
2. Item policy (wood refuses ore)
3. Travel

Tips

• Use portal_stone for inter-server or network portals you intend to move ore/metal through.
• The check reuses Valheim's own "is this teleportable?" logic, so it matches what you'd expect from normal portals.
