How to Add Mods to Your Valheim Server

Prerequisites

  1. Latest Version of Valheim and Valheim Plus Mod

    • Ensure both your game and the Valheim Plus Mod are updated to the latest versions.

  2. Valheim Plus Mod Server

    • By default, servers are set to Vanilla. Open a support ticket to request a server-type change to Valheim Plus Mod.


Downloading Mods from Nexus Mods

  1. Search for and locate the desired mod.

  2. Go to the Files tab and select the latest version of the mod.

  3. Click Manual Download and follow the instructions to complete the download process:

    • Click Slow Download unless you have a premium account.

    • Save the mod file to your preferred location on your PC.

Note:

  • Check for dependencies listed on the mod page and download them as well.

  • If the mod is compressed, extract the contents to locate the .dll file.


Installing Mods on Your Server

  1. Access the File Manager

    • Log in to the server’s control panel.

    • Select your server and navigate to the File Manager tab.

  2. Upload the Mod

    • Go to the folder: BepInEx -> Plugins

    • Drag and drop the mod’s .dll file into the Plugins folder in the browser.

  3. Restart the Server

    • Restart the server to apply the mod.

Note: Ensure the mod ends with the .dll extension for it to function properly.


Important Considerations

  • Client and Server Sync:

    • The mods must be installed on both the server and your client.

    • Mismatched mods can prevent login or cause gameplay issues.
