Valheim modded server - BepInEx and Thunderstore mods in one click

Our Valheim and V Rising servers come with BepInEx, the mod loader, already installed. You do not need to upload any loader files by hand.

Installing mods

In the game panel open the plugins tab. The list comes from Thunderstore (the same source r2modman uses). Click install next to a mod and restart the server. Dependencies are installed automatically.

Players need the mods too

Most Valheim mods have to be installed by every player, in the same version as on the server. The easiest way: create a profile with the same mods in r2modman, export it as a code and share that code with your friends. They import it in r2modman and start the game from that profile.

Some mods only run on the server, for example admin tools. The mod page on Thunderstore usually says whether players need it as well.

Server password and name

You change them in the Startup tab. The password must be at least 5 characters long and must not contain the server name.

After a game update

When Valheim or V Rising gets a big update, some mods stop working until their authors release a new version. If the server does not start after an update, look at the console to see which mod fails, and remove it or wait for an update of that mod. Make a backup in the Backups tab before you change anything.
