Valheim does not officially support mods, but modders are not lagging behind because of that. There are already mods that overhaul the construction system, and it would have only been a matter of time before they overhauled the Viking perspective. Yes, Valheim has a mod that allows you to play from a first person perspective.

And while the first-person perspective mod is still a work in progress and the game itself doesn't seem like a natural fit, it really works amazingly well. I spent half an hour this morning running around in first person view, and the beautiful world looks even better when you see it through the eyes of the character instead of looking over your shoulder. When you block with a shield, you only see the inside of the shield, nothing else. In general, there is a bit of clipping through your own body when moving and looking around, but first-person sailing is definitely quite nice.

The really nice thing about this mod is that you are not locked into first person mode; once the mod is installed, you can zoom in/out from third person mode to first person mode with the scroll wheel. So if you run into problems, you can easily go back to the vanilla game perspective.

The First Person View mod depends on another mod called BepInExPack Valheim, but don't worry, it is easy to install. Once installed and the game is launched, a plugin folder will be created where you can simply drop in the First Person View mod. Both mods have a readme file that explains exactly how to run the mod, and the First Person View mod also includes a new configuration file that allows you to edit the first and third person FOV and the font size for damage notifications.
