Mod Guide for Players

This page covers the mods installed on our Valheim server: what they do, which exact versions you need, and how to install them.

The mods are currently switched off. They are installed on the server but disabled, so the server is running vanilla Valheim right now. You can join without any mods.

Only install the mods once the admin says they're on. After that, the server refuses anyone who doesn't have the exact same ValheimPlus version. The error is doesn't have the correct Valheim Plus version.

What the mods do

ValheimPlus: bigger wood chests

The server controls all ValheimPlus settings. It sends them to you when you join, so you don't need to change any config. Right now only the inventory settings are on:

Wood chest, vanilla: 5 × 2

Wood chest on our server: 8 × 4

Other storage sizes on our server: personal chest 3 × 2, reinforced chest 6 × 4, black metal chest 8 × 4, cart 8 × 3, karve 2 × 2, longship 8 × 3.

Equipment & Quick Slots

Equipment slots: armor, cape and utility items get their own slots and no longer take up inventory space.
3 quick slots in the lower left, used with Z V B (good for potions, food and the hammer).
Gravestone: when you pick up your gravestone, your armor, weapon, shield and carry-weight items are put back on automatically.

This mod also needs the library Jotunn. You don't use it directly, but it has to be installed.

Exact versions

Versions have to match the server exactly. A newer version won't necessarily work.

Mod	Version	Download
Valheim (the game itself)	1.0.12 (n-40)	Steam, keep it up to date
BepInExPack_Valheim (mod loader)	5.4.2350	Thunderstore (already included in the ValheimPlus zip)
ValheimPlus (Grantapher fork)	0.10.1.1 on Thunderstore: 10.1.1	GitHub release · Thunderstore
EquipmentAndQuickSlots	3.0.1	Thunderstore (zip)
Jotunn	2.29.2	Thunderstore (zip)

Installation

Choose one method. r2modman is the easiest: it keeps the mods separate from your normal game, and you can switch back to vanilla with one click.

Install r2modman and open it. Choose Valheim, then create a new profile, for example Valdemarshall.
Open Online and search for ValheimPlus_Grantapher_Temporary. Click Download and select version 10.1.1.
Search for EquipmentAndQuickSlots. Click Download and select version 3.0.1 (not the latest).
Under Installed, check that Jotunn is 2.29.2 and BepInExPack_Valheim is 5.4.2350. If r2modman installed a different version, uninstall it and download the correct version from the Online tab.
Don't click Update all in r2modman until the admin has updated the server too.
Start the game with Start modded.

In Steam, right-click Valheim → Manage → Browse local files. This opens your game folder (usually …\steamapps\common\Valheim).
Download WindowsClient.zip and extract everything into the game folder. Overwrite files if asked. This includes the mod loader (BepInEx) and ValheimPlus.
Download Jotunn 2.29.2. Copy Jotunn.dll from the zip's plugins folder to Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\.
Download EquipmentAndQuickSlots 3.0.1. Copy EquipmentAndQuickSlots.dll from the zip's plugins folder to Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\.
Start Valheim normally from Steam. A console window opening next to the game is expected.

You should end up with: winhttp.dll and doorstop_config.ini in the game folder, plus ValheimPlus.dll, Jotunn.dll and EquipmentAndQuickSlots.dll in BepInEx\plugins\.

r2modman also works on Linux (AppImage), and that's the easiest option there too.

If you install manually:

Extract UnixClient.zip into the game folder. If you play the Windows version through Proton, use WindowsClient.zip instead.
Copy Jotunn.dll and EquipmentAndQuickSlots.dll into BepInEx/plugins/, just like on Windows.
In Steam, open Valheim → Properties → Launch options.
Native Linux: ./start_game_bepinex.sh %command%
Proton: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%
More details: BepInExPack_Valheim, section “Configuration (Linux)”.

Check that it worked

The title screen shows the versions in the top left and bottom right: ValheimPlus 0.10.1.1 (Grantapher) and Valheim 1.0.12.
In your inventory, the equipment panel appears next to your character, and the quick slots are in the lower left.
Once the mods are on and you join the server, wood chests show 8 × 4 slots.

Playing vanilla again

r2modman: click Start vanilla, or just start Valheim from Steam as usual.
Manual install: rename or delete winhttp.dll in the game folder. That turns off every mod. Rename it back to turn them on again.

Items in the extra equipment and quick slots stay on your character. Still, empty those slots before you remove the mod permanently.

Common problems

“doesn't have the correct Valheim Plus version”

Your ValheimPlus version doesn't match the server's, or you don't have it installed. Check the title screen (see above) and install exactly 0.10.1.1.

Incompatible version, or you can't join after a Valheim update

When Steam updates Valheim, the mods often stop working until updated versions are released. Don't just install the latest mod versions. Wait until the admin has updated the server, then update to the versions listed on this page.

The console window doesn't appear or the mods don't load

Check that winhttp.dll is directly in the game folder, next to valheim.exe, and not inside a subfolder. Some antivirus programs delete this file, so you may need to add an exception.

Where is the log?
