Teleporting is one of the best things you can do in Valheim because you can bring back all the resources you have collected in various biomes. Well, not all, because if you have those items that cannot be teleported, you will get the message: An Item Prevents You From Teleporting in Valheim. This is not an early access bug but it is an intentional way to make things challenging for players. How to solve this and which are the items that are preventing you from using your portal? Keep reading to know.
Valheim: An Item Prevents You From Teleporting
This message will pop up if you are carrying items that are not allowed to be teleported via the portal and they are mostly ores. When you see this text, check your inventory because these items are restricted for teleportation. If you are using mods or cheats, though, this will not be a problem for you. Players can modify the mod they are playing with to ease out the restrictions as well.
Valheim – Ores and Items that Cannot be Teleported
The valuable metals and ores that you will find in and around biomes will be the ones you cannot teleport. Here’s the list:
| Items that Can’t Be Teleported |

| Iron |
| Bronze |
| Silver |
| Silver Ore |
| Tin |
| Tin Ore |
| Copper |
| Copper Ore |
| Black Metal |

| Dragon Eggs |
Why is this the case, you ask? Why can’t you teleport metal ores through the portal? The reasons behind it are kind of unclear – maybe we will get a clear answer in the upcoming updates or in the launched game. As of now, it adds a certain level of difficulty to the game and players have to resort to new strategies or external mods like Unrestricted Portals mods to teleport ores.
In case you want to know the locations of various ores and how to spot them, we’ve got some Valheim guides for you. Plus, find out hidden tips and tricks to master the game and level up faster in our Valheim wiki.
